Promotion of Open Document Exchange Format
Did you ever receive a document you could not open? Chances are the sender used a different programme or version than yours to create it. Open document exchange formats avoid users being locked in to particular products or technologies. For administrations this offers greater accessibility to their public-sector information and improved interaction with citizens and business.
