Office Document Architecture (ODA) : A Brief History and Overview of The Oda Concepts
The document discusses the Open Document Architecture (ODA) standard, which was ratified in 1988 and allows for the open interchange of documents. ODA defines an abstract model for representing document information, including logical structure, layout, and content. It then defines an encoding format called ODIF to transmit this information over communication systems. ODA supports three types of content - character text, geometric graphics, and raster graphics. The standard aims to enable documents to be interchanged and edited without loss of functionality between applications like word processors.
