The '''OpenDocument''' format (ODF) is a [[file format]] for electronic office documents such as [[spreadsheet|spreadsheets]]s, [[chart|charts]]s, [[presentation program|presentations]] and [[word processor|word processing]] documents.
While the specifications were originally developed by [[Sun Microsystems|Sun]], the standard was developed by the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC - OASIS ODF TC <ref>{{cite web

| Publisherpublisher=W3}}</ref> is a [[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]] recommendation for the "inclusion of mathematical expressions in Web pages" and "machine to machine communication" that has been around since about 1999. However, most mathematicians continue to use the much older [[TeX]] format as their main method for typesetting complex mathematical formulae. TeX is not an ISO standard, but is fully documented and is the ''[[de facto]]'' standard for typesetting mathematical expressions. There exists a converter from (La)TeX to ODT, including mathematical formulas.<ref name= "tex4ht">[http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html TeX4ht: LaTeX and TeX for Hypertext]</ref> OpenDocument is also criticized for not using the [http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=20866 ISO 12083:1994] standard for mathematical formulae, which is not used within MathML either. MathML has a few issues with displaying mathematical formulae well, compared to other methods like TeX.<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref> A major downside of TeX is that Tex is a presentation-only markup: unlike MathML, it does not offer a semantic markup model. This means it is impossible for a computer algebra system to reliably understand the meaning of TeX markup. TeX is useful only for typesetting.
* The OpenDocument Format 1.0-1.1 specifications refer to '[[ZIP (file format)|zip]]' files but do not reference a standard which describes the zip file format. However, a specification (as opposed to a "standard") for the Zip format was distributed with [[PKZIP]] in the file APPNOTE.TXT and this continues to be maintained.<ref>[http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT APPNOTE.TXT - .ZIP File Format Specification]</ref>
* ODF format has limited support for tracking changes, which may be a problem in environments where review is required by law, for financial or medical purposes.<ref>http://blogs.msdn.com/dmahugh/archive/2009/05/13/ name="tracked-changes.aspx<"/ref>
* The [[OpenDocument Foundation|OpenDocument Foundation, Inc.]] participated in developing ODF within the OASIS TC and in developing the closed‐source [http://web.archive.org/web/20070202013412/http://opendocument.foundation.googlepages.com/ daVinci plug-in] for Microsoft Office. The Foundation shifted its attention from supporting OpenDocument to supporting the W3C [[Compound Document Format]] (CDF). The reason stated was: “it is important to recognize that ODF does not adequately respect existing standards and does not address the market's requirements for a single Universal Document Format with which any and all applications can work on an equal basis”.<ref>{{cite web

Under e-PING Standards of Interoperability for Electronic Government v 4.0 (16 Dec 2008), ODF was upgraded from “recommended” under v 2.0 (17 Dec 2006) to “adopted”, meaning ODF compliance is now mandatory . Government agencies are required to incorporate “adopted” file formats like ODF into new information systems and upgrades to existing systems.
