OpenDocument was ratified as a file format standard on Tuesday night by an international standards group, setting the stage for greater worldwide adoption of the open-source file format technology.
The OpenDocument Format has been submitted to the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), according to OASIS, the standards body that developed the format.

The group behind the OpenDocument standard has submitted the document format to a key standards organisation, a move that could make open-source desktop applications more attractive to governments.
