TheÂOpenDocument Format (ODF) Advocacy Open Project has been formed.Â
The ODF Advocacy Open Project promotes the worldâs leading document standard. After being approved as an OASIS Standard, ODF was recognized by ISO/IEC and endorsed by governments around the world as a way to ensure permanent access to data and eliminate the risk of vendor lock-in. Â
The ODF Advocacy Open Project is sponsored by CIB and The Document Foundation.
âODF guarantees perennial access to data that can be transferred in a transparent way between different apps, computers and operating systems, getting rid of hidden interoperability costs, vendor lock-in issues and license fees,â said Italo Vignoli, Co-Founder, The Document Foundation.
