Eine interessante Pressemeldung [1] kam heute raus:

"... Convened by Gerd Schürmann, head of the eGovernment unit at the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems FOKUS in Berlin, the 'Translation of Document Formats' Working Group of DIN's Information Technology Standardization Committee has now taken up its work. This new Working Group will create an in-depth Technical Report detailing how to translate between the two document standards Office Open XML (Ecma 376) and ODF 1.0 (ISO/IEC 26300) in order to support interoperability between the two formats ..."

Gerd Schürmann meinte dazu: "Instead of either/or, we are enabling interoperability between various document standards".

Sehr vielversprechend in der Tat. Die Arbeit dieser Gruppe kann und wird sicherlich einiges bewegen.
