(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances are well-formed and that expressions are valid

 	We so certify

(d) a clear English-language summary of the specification

 	Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 
1.2 specifies the characteristics of an XML-based 
application-independent and platform-independent digital document file 
format, as well as the characteristics of software applications which 
read, write and process such documents. This standard is applicable to 
document authoring, editing, viewing, exchange and archiving, including 
text documents, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, drawings, charts 
and similar documents commonly used by personal productivity software 
applications. 

(e) relationship of this specification to similar work

 	OASIS has two other Technical Committees, the ODF Adoption TC and the 
ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC which do work that compliments 
the work of the OpenDocument TC. The OpenDocument TC has liaisons to 
these other committees.

> ISO/IEC JTC1 approved OASIS OpenDocument v1.0 under their 
Publically Available Specification (PAS) process as ISO/IEC 26300:2006, 
and is in the process of approving OASIS OpenDocument v1.1. It is 
expected that the OpenDocument TC will ask OASIS to submit OASIS 
OpenDocument v1.2 to them under PAS rules for transposition into an 
International Standard. There is an OASIS and an OASIS OpenDocument TC 
liaison with JTC1/SC34, the committee that maintains ISO/IEC 26300. 
Maintenance is done under an agreement between OASIS and ISO/IEC JTC1 
that requires that the ISO version remains “technically equivalent” to 
the OASIS version.

This standard is in 3 parts, and this form does not have sufficient
 structure to list all of the parts, in all of the formats, or the 
various associated schemas. The above document should be much more 
useful for progressing this work.

Thank you for your request. TC Administration will complete 
administrative processing and checking for completeness and correctness 
of the submission within 15 days. If the submission is incomplete it 
shall be rejected. You can follow the progress at:
