开放文档格式（ODF）成为国际标准
[http://finance.sina.com.cn/roll/20060511/0709684927.shtml] 2006年05月11日 07:09 中国质量新闻网
据国际标准化组织（ISO）网站报道，ISO和国际电工委员会（IEC）已经批准了开放文档格式（OpenDocu?鄄ment）成为国际标准的申请。标准号为ISO/IEC 26300。此举意味着Open?鄄Document在国际标准化上迈出了重要一步。
另据报道，在上述两组织就此举行的讨论会上，该文件的申请获得31名委员的全票通过。由于仅有7名成员发表了需要进一步审核的评论，Open?鄄Document的标准将很快正式

发布。
业内分析人士表示，由于很多国家在进行政府采购时，对产品是否符合ISO/IEC的标准有要求或倾斜，Open?鄄Document获得国际标准认可将帮助相关厂商提高和微软进行竞争的实力。
目前，IBM已经公开表示率先在桌面软件系统中支持OpenDocument，尤其希望能在发展中国家推动其产品。制定OpenDocument标准的重要目的之一就是为用户冲破法律上或者技术上的贸易壁垒提供保证，维护他们对数据进行长久访问的权益，正好满足了对文件安全性有很高要求的各国政府机构的需要，因此很多国家的政府机构已经清楚地意识到，开放格式作为国家政策文件电子版存放方式的重要性。目前，OpenDocument受到了很多政府机构的青睐。美国马萨诸塞州政府表示，在进行办公用品采购时，将替换掉微软及其他供货商的办公室应用产品，转而采用开源软件。印度国家信息中心表示，该国会将 “开放标准与开源”软件作为优先考虑。包括新加坡国防部、法国
财政部、法国经济金融工业部、巴西
卫生部、德国
慕尼黑市、英国布里斯托尔市参议会，以及奥地利维也纳市等机构也都已经采用了支持Open Docu?鄄ment标准的软件。OpenDocument在欧洲更是受到青睐，这一标准已经被欧洲委员会正式认可。
为了推广这一系统，有关组织成立了OpenDocument格式联盟（ODF），目前已有138个会员。
Open Document Format（ODF），是OASIS (Organization for the Ad?鄄vancement of Structured Information Standards)办公应用程序开放文档格式的简称，它是一个开放的文档格式，主要用来存储和转换那些可编辑的办公文档。这里所指的办公文档包括文本文档（如备忘录、报告、书籍）、电子数据表格、图表以及陈述性文件。Open?鄄Document标准由OASIS工业联盟制定，但最初，它是以 OpenOffice.org创造的基于XML语言的文件格式为基础的。
值得一提的是，微软公司并不支持ODF标准，他们单独提交了一个以开放XML为核心的文档体系，和Open?鄄Document争夺通用标准地位。在当天的投票过程中微软也拥有一席，但并没有“设置障碍”。此前，业内人士曾经猜测，微软可能会通过各种手段延迟Open Document标准成为国际标准，以期能让微软自己的标准有迎头赶上的机会。因为微软去年已向欧洲标准组织ECMA International提出自己的Office Open XML文档格式，以便为日后向ISO申请标准化铺路。
但微软否认了这种说法。 Sun公司的技术专家表示，OpenDocument拥有强劲的支持，微软很难在投票过程中“下绊”。
微软公司表示，他们将支持Office和OpenDocument的文件互操作性，也不反对OpenDocument被其他组织列为标准。不过，微软负责标准事务的官员乔森?马图索却发表了另外一番言论：“OpenDocument格式受限于OpenOffice.org和 StarOffice的特色和性能，无法满足今天的微软Office用户的需求。”

ISO and IEC Approve OpenDocument OASIS Standard
International Standard Delivers True Data Interoperability for Office Applications

PDF (Letter)
Geneva, Switzerland and Boston, MA, USA; 8 May 2006 - The OpenDocument OASIS Standard, a format which enables users of varying office suites to freely exchange documents, has been approved for release as an ISO and IEC International Standard. OpenDocument was balloted through the Joint Technical Committee on Information Technology (JTC1) of the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The OASIS OpenDocument submission has been given the designation, ISO/IEC 26300.
OpenDocument defines a genuinely open XML file format for office applications. Suitable for text, spreadsheets, charts, graphs, presentations, and databases, the standard frees documents from their applications-of-origin, enabling them to be exchanged, retrieved, and edited with any OpenDocument-compliant software or tool. The standard will facilitate access, search, use, integration, and development of document content in new and innovative ways.
"ISO/IEC 26300 is a shining example of what partnership in standardization can achieve for the business community. Its publication underscores the importance of partnership among ISO and IEC and standards developing organizations such as OASIS to craft a common set of standards, and reflects the international community's recognition of the importance of open formats in enabling business interoperability," said Alan Bryden, ISO Secretary-General.
"ISO /IEC approval of OpenDocument as an International Standard is a major step forward in advancing the adoption of a format that gives all of us the flexibility to select the office application-commercial or open source-that best meets our needs," noted Patrick Gannon, president and CEO of OASIS. "We are particularly gratified by the broad range of national ballots cast in favor of the standard. This action underscores the global support for the OASIS open standards process that produced OpenDocument and delivers an assurance of long-term viability that is particularly important to governments."
In May 2005, OpenDocument was ratified as an OASIS Standard and subsequently submitted by OASIS to the ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, subcommittee SC 34, Document description and processing languages. As ISO/IEC 26300, the standard will continue to be maintained and advanced by the OASIS OpenDocument Technical Committee and the recently formed OASIS ODF Adoption Committee, both of which remain open to participation from users, suppliers, government agencies, and individuals.
Current members of OASIS committees focusing on OpenDocument include representatives of Adobe, IBM, Intel, Novell, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems, as well as government agencies and other organizations, such as the Chanfeng Open Standards Platform Software Alliance in China, National Informatics Center of the Government of India, Netherlands Tax and Customs Administration, Royal National Institute for the Blind, and Duke University.
