About XML.org

 This is the official community gathering place and information resource for the OpenDocument OASIS Standard (ISO/IEC 26300). OpenDocument provides a format that enables users of varying office suites to freely exchange documents.

The standard is advanced through an open process by the OASIS OpenDocument Technical Committee and the OASIS ODF Adoption Committee. Both groups encourage new participation from developers and users.

This is a community-driven site, and the public is encouraged to contribute content. Use this site to:

  • Learn. Knowledge Base pages provide reliable background information on OpenDocument.
  • Share. OpenDocument Today serves as a community bulletin board and directory where readers post news, ideas, opinions, and recommendations.
  • Collaborate. Wiki pages let users work with others online and add new pages to the site.
