- The Ideal is realised........
-
- The ideal would be:
- to transmit documents of every kind
- ...text, facsimile and graphics
- ...complete with all their attributes
- ...from screen to screen
- ...from any kind of system, proprietary or open, to any other
- ...from anywhere in the world to anywhere else
- ...from reading and understanding
- ...for short or long term storage
- ...for processing and further editing
- ...for re-transmission and for printing.
-
- That ideal will be realised.
-
- The ODA Consortium
- Six of the world's major computer companies have formed the Open
- Document Architecture Consortium to promote the ODA standard and
- to provide the means of achieving it.
-
- The companies are: Bull SA, DEC, IBM, ICL PLC, Siemens Nixdorf
- Informationssyteme (SNI) and Unisys.
-
- Their purpose is first:
- To sponsor the development of a Toolkit that will help in the
- production of suitable ODA applications for retro-fit into
- existing systems and for incorporation into new systems.
-
- From the beginning, the Toolkit will be openly licenced to anyone
- wanting to develop product which uses the ODA standard.
