 <h2 id="ODF">OASIS OpenDocument/ISO/IEC 26300 File Format (ODF)</h2>
 <p>The OpenOffice.org application uses the <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office#technical">OpenDocument file format</a> (also known as ODF) as
 native file format. This means, OpenOffice.org stores all documents in
 OpenDocument file format unless the user requests to store them in a
 different file format.</p>
 <p><a href="http://opendocument.xml.org""><img align=right border=0 width=315 src="opendocument-cropped_0.jpg" /></a>The OpenDocument file format is developed by a <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office">technical committee</a> at <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org">OASIS</a>.
 It further is an approved and published ISO standard (<a href="http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=43485">ISO/IEC 26300:2006</a>). The <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office#technical">OpenDocument specification</a> is available at the <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office">OASIS OpenDocument TC's web page</a>. See
 <a href="http://opendocument.xml.org">opendocument.xml.org</a> for more information on
 OpenDocument.</p>
 <p>Several members of the OpenOffice.org XML project and other OpenOffice.org
 projects are <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=office">members</a> of the OASIS OpenDocument technical committee, and
 collaborate there with members from other projects and vendors on the further
 development of the OpenDocument file format.</p>
 <p>The XML project maintains the implementation of the OpenDocument file format
 in OpenOffice.org in very close collaboration and with large support of other
 OpenOffice.org projects, in particular the
 <a href="http://framework.openoffice.org/">application framework</a>,
 <a href="http://graphics.openoffice.org/">graphical application</a>,
 <a href="http://sc.openoffice.org">spreadsheet</a> and
 <a href="http://sw.openoffice.org/">word processing</a>
 projects.</p>

 <h2 id="OOo-XML">OpenOffice.org XML File Format</h2>
 <p>The <a href="general.html">OpenOffice.org XML file format</a> is the native
 file format of OpenOffice.org 1.0. It has been replaced by the
 <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office#technical">OASIS OpenDocument file format</a>
  in OpenOffice.org 2.0.</p>

 <h2 id="filter">XML-Based Filters</h2>
 <p>The XML project contains the framework for the <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Xml#Filters_and_Conversions_based_on_OpenDocument.2FOpenOffice.org_XML">XML based filters</a>. More
 information about the development of XML based filters is available in the <a href="filter">XML Based Filter Tutorial</a>.
 A <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Xml#Filters_and_Conversions_based_on_OpenDocument.2FOpenOffice.org_XML">list of XML based filters</a> available for OpenOffice.org is available <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Xml#Filters_and_Conversions_based_on_OpenDocument.2FOpenOffice.org_XML">in the wiki</a>.

 <h2 id="xforms">XForms</h2>
 <p>The XML project maintains the base technology of
 OpenOffice.org's XForms feature, and cares about specifications in that area
 in collaboration with the <a href="http://sw.openoffice.org/">word processing</a>
 and <a href="http://dba.openoffice.org/">database</a> projects. The Writer specific parts of the
 XForms feature is maintained by the <a href="http://sw.openoffice.org/">word processing</a>
 project.</p>

 <h2 id="security">XML Security</h2>
 <p>In collaboration with the
 <a href="http://framework.openoffice.org/">application framework</a> project, the
 XML projects specifies and implements XML Security features of OpenOffice.org,
 like digital signatures.

 <h2 id="parser">XML Basis Implementations</h2>
 Being an important client of XML parser and writer implementations, the
 XML project maintains these components in collaboration with the <a href="http://framework.openoffice.org/">application framwork</a> project project.
