Office Document Architecture
charter-ietf-oda-01

The ODA Working Group will develop guidelines for the use of the Office
Document Architecture for the exchange of Compound documents including
formattable text, bit-map graphics and geometric graphics according to
the ODA Standard. It will consider also Intercept Standards for other
document content types it considers vital - e.g., spreadsheets. The
Working Group will define how to use both SMTP and X.400 for
interchange of ODA documents. It will maintain close liaison with the
SMTP
and X.400 Working Groups.

This Working Group will review the availability of ODA implementations,
in
order to mount a Pilot Testbed for processable compound document
interchange. Finally, it will set up and evaluate such a testbed.
