Abstract
Open Document Format (ODF) and Office Open XML (OOXML) are both ISO/IEC open document standards, but while the first is loyal to standard definitions the second is an unfortunate attempt to propagate proprietary formats in a pseudo-standard format to lock-in users to Microsoft Office for the foreseeable future. The presentation explains why ODF is a better standard than OOXML.
