ResumoODA, Office Document Architecture, is an international standard (IS 8613) which enables compound documents to be interchanged between and processed on heterogeneous computer systems. The ESPRIT PODA-2 Project is playing a major role on promoting and developing ODA offering a set of ODA tools such as an ODA Application Programmatic Interface, ODA Formatter. Based on the PODA toolkit, Bull offers a coherent set of Q112 ODA tools ‘The Bull ODA Product Set’, which allows the user to create a document using World for Windows Microsoft, to convert it in ODA and browse it or send it; of course it works the other way. The Converter Rich Text Format implementation problematic is discussed, the concept which drives the conversion is widely explained: examples of mapping between Word for Windows capabilities and the Q112 level give more concrete view of the implementation and fallback strategy. The overall architecture of the RTF/ODA converter introduces the Application Programmatic Interfaces and the object-oriented design method. The example of document feature conversion ‘style’ finalizes this report. The key points expressed in the future perspective illustrate the importance that ODA will gain in Europe and all over the world.
