* Objects that do not have an XML representation. These objects only have a binary representation. An exampleExamples for thisthese kindkinds of objects are [[raster images]], recorded audios and [[Object Linking and Embedding|OLE]] objects.<ref>According to the OpenDocument 1.0 specification, OLE is defined in ''Kraig Brockschmidt, Inside OLE, Microsoft Press, 1995, {{ISBN|1-55615-843-2}}''.</ref>
