The goal for this project is to provide translators to allow for
|
||
|
|
interoperability between applications based on ODF (OpenDocument)
|
||
|
|
1.0 standards and Microsoft OpenXML based Office applications. As
|
||
|
|
a part of this interoperability initiative, add-ins are being
|
||
|
|
developed that can be installed on top of Microsoft Office Word
|
||
|
|
(document processing), Excel (spreadsheet) and PowerPoint (presentation)
|
||
|
|
applications (Office 2007 / 2003 / XP version) to allow for opening
|
||
|
|
and saving OpenDocument format / ODF files (.odt, .ods and .odp)
|
||
|
|
that adheres to ODF 1.0 specifications. We also provide command
|
||
|
|
line translator utilities that allow doing batch conversions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The converter is based on XSL transformations between two XML
|
||
|
|
formats, along with some pre- and post-processing to manage the
|
||
|
|
packaging (zip / unzip), schema incompatibility processings and
|
||
|
|
the integration into Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel
|
||
|
|
and PowerPoint. We chose to use an Open Source development model
|
||
|
|
that allows developers from all around the world to participate &
|
||
|
|
contribute to the project.
