OpenDocument Format
OpenDocument Format (ODF) is a file format used for storing documents, such as text files, spreadsheets, and presentations. It is an open standard, meaning anyone can use it without paying fees, which encourages compatibility across different software applications. Developed by the OASIS consortium, ODF allows users to create and share documents easily, ensuring that content is accessible over time, regardless of the software used. Common applications that support ODF include LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and some versions of Microsoft Office, promoting collaboration and innovation while safeguarding user data.
