| <p>The OpenOffice.org <strong>XML project</strong> is the home of of XML related features of <a href="http://download.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice.org</a>, |
| like its <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office#technical">OASIS OpenDocument</a>/<a href="http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=43485">ISO/IEC 26300</a> file format implementation. It further provides some XML base implementations, |
| like XML parser and printer components.</p> |
| |
| <p>The following sub-projects are within the scope of the XML project:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><p>The <a href="#ODF">OASIS OpenDocument/ISO/IEC 26300 file format</a> implementation, and the implementation of its predecessor, <a href="#OOo-XML">OpenOffice.org XML</a>.</p> |
| <li><p>The <a href="#filter">framework for XML based filters</a>.</p> |

| <h2 id="ODF">OASIS OpenDocument/ISO/IEC 26300 File Format</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> 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>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="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. |
