Abstract

The office document architecture model provides for the description of the internal structures and correlations in documents independently of applications. The Technical Committee TC 2 of the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) is currently developing the standards Office Document Architecture (ODA) and Office Document Interchange Formats (ODIF). It is in close liaison with ISO/TC97/SC18/ WG3, which has the same working target, and with the CCITT Commission VIII, which is standardizing the Teletex and Facsimile Group 4 Mixed Mode Of Operation. The ODA model is for a comprehensive description of documents and is a basis for interchange formats, that support not only reproduction, but also editing and formatting of documents at the receiving end.
