Office Open XML Part 1 - Fundamentals

This Part is one piece of a Standard that describes a family of XML schemas, collectively called Office Open XML, 2 which define the XML vocabularies for word-processing, spreadsheet, and presentation documents, as well as 3 the packaging of documents that conform to these schemas. 4 The goal is to enable the implementation of the Office Open XML formats by the widest set of tools and 5 platforms, fostering interoperability across office productivity applications and line-of-business systems, as well 6 as to support and strengthen document archival and preservation, all in a way that is fully compatible with the 7 large existing investments in Microsoft Office documents. 8 The following organizations have participated in the creation of this Standard and their contributions are 9 gratefully acknowledged: 10 Apple, Barclays Capital, BP, The British Library, Essilor, Intel, Microsoft, NextPage, Novell, Statoil, Toshiba, and 11 the United States Library of Congress
