#DocumentFreedomDay

Deze week staan wij stil bij #DocumentFreedomDay want het belang van #DocumentFreedom, open documentformaten en open standaarden geldt elke dag. 📄

Het gebruik van open documentformaten en open standaarden voorkomt leveranciersafhankelijkheid en bevordert je #DigitaleAutonomie. Zo blijft je informatie van nu toegankelijk en uitwisselbaar voor iedereen, ook op lange termijn.

Today is Document Freedom Day. We celebrate developments that support open standards and open formats.
Our contribution: repositories for open and FAIR data storage, workshops for FAIR research data management. And an open source laboratory journal "Chemotion ELN", which is specially programmed for the needs of chemists and supports the creation of open data.

📢 Today is Document Freedom Day! A day to celebrate Open Standards and open document formats that give us the freedom to create, share, and store data without restrictions.

At #CollaboraOnline, we embrace Open Standards to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to exchange knowledge freely—without worrying about vendor lock-ins or hidden fees.

Let’s celebrate a world where your data is truly yours! 💜

March 26 is #DocumentFreedomDay, a day to acknowledge and celebrate the role of open standards in our lives.

Open standards are a common language that all computers can speak. When it comes to documents, spreadsheets and slide decks the premier standard is OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp). If you use LibreOffice you may be familiar with these file extensions, if so you are already using OpenDocument.

Office Open XML (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) is another standard created later, mainly used by Microsoft Office. It is actually a dual standard with two schemas, Strict and Transitional, the latter which allows proprietary (non-open) extensions. Only the latter transitional standard is in widespread use as it is the default save format of Microsoft Office. These proprietary extensions have been reverse engineered by others to create compatibility with Microsoft Office. That certainly doesn't sound very open to us.
