The '''Open Publication Distribution System''' ('''OPDS''') Catalogcatalog format is a [[Web syndication|syndication]] format for [[electronic publication]]s based on [[Atom (standard)|Atom]] and [[HTTP]]. OPDS Catalogscatalogs enable the aggregation, distribution, discovery, and acquisition of electronic publications. OPDS Catalogscatalogs use existing or emergent [[open standard]]s and conventions, with a priority on simplicity.

The Open Publication Distribution System specification is prepared by an informal grouping of partners, combining [[Internet Archive]], [[O'Reilly Media]], [[Feedbooks]], [[One Laptop per Child|OLPC]], and others.
