The Ecma International Technical Commitee TC45 has released a whitepaper to provide an overview on Office Open XML. The whitepaper should be read to:
-
Understand the purposes of OpenXML and structure of its Specification
-
Know its properties: how it addresses backward compatibility, preservation, extensibility, custom schemas, subsetting, multiple platforms, internationalization, and accessibility
-
Learn how to follow the high-level structure of any OpenXML file, and navigate quickly to any portion of the Specification from which you require further detail
Brian Jones offers commentary on the whitepaper (linked in the headline).
