Overview

The OASIS OIC TC helped implementors create applications that conform to the OpenDocument Format (ODF) OASIS Standard. ODF defines a genuinely open XML file format for office productivity applications, including text, spreadsheets, charts, graphs, presentations, and databases. The OIC TC worked to ensure that ODF-compliant applications were able to interoperate and conform to the standard.
