Take a look at the scope statement for ODF 1.2:
"This standard 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. "
A database front end application is a common personal productivity
application. OpenOffice and LibreOffice include one. So does Microsoft
Office.
A database front end writes out documents. ODF specifies these documents.
We have a conformance class specifically for this, "OpenDocument Database
Front End Document".
