Last friday, the KOffice team started their ODF meeting in Berlin. Many people showed up at the KDAB office, and spend their time discussing, designing, and hacking on KOffice. They came up with some new things.

RE[2]: ODF for non-office applications

It could be used to create documents which are prepared to get edited in KOffice...

Exactly!

And even more complex processing "pipelines", i.e. one application generates an ODF file with measurement data, another one takes this as its input and adds statistical analysis, and so on.

I think Rob Weir (IBM) has a presentation about "20 non-office things one can do with ODF" (not the exact title, it's similar though)

The "decompilation" of ODF is relatively easy, so documents created in ODF format (and following a certain specification) could be re-imported to another application.

Also makes it a good candidate for a common tranport format in Copy&Paste operations.
