Information Systems Interconnection — Office Document Architecture (ODA) — Document Application Prof ile — Processable and Formatted Documents — Basic Character Content
This document application profile specifies interchange formats for the transfer of structured documents between word processing facilities. It caters for the transfer of documents such as memos, letters and reports that contain characters only.
This document application profile describes documents which can be interchanged in the following forms, as defined in ISO 8613:
- formatted form;
- processable form;
- formatted-processable form.
The architecture levels have matching functionalities so that the interchange formats of a document are convertible from a processable form into any other form.
This document application profile is independent of the processes carried out in an end system to create, edit or reproduce documents. It is also independent of the means to transfer documents which, for example, may be means of communication links or storage media.
