Open Office XML
Open Office XML: The OpenDocument Format (ODF) is an open XML-based document file format for office applications to be used for documents containing text, spreadsheets, charts, and graphical elements. It is intended to meet the following requirements:
- it must be suitable for office documents containing text, spreadsheets, charts, and graphical documents,
- it must be compatible with the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) v1.0 and W3C Namespaces in XML v1.0 specifications,
- it must retain high-level information suitable for editing the document,
- it must be friendly to transformations using XSLT or similar XML-based languages or tools,
- it should keep the document's content and layout information separate such that they can be processed independently of each other, and
- it should 'borrow' from similar, existing standards wherever possible and permitted.

Web Services, Service-Oriented Architectures, and Cloud Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide (Second Edition)
by Douglas K Barry with David Dick
This is a guide for the savvy manager who wants to capitalize on the wave of change that is occurring with Web Services, service-oriented architecture, and—more recently—Cloud Computing. The changes wrought by these technologies will require both a basic grasp of the technologies and an effective way to deal with how these changes will affect the people who build and use the systems in our organizations. This book covers both issues. Managers at all levels of all organizations must be aware of both the changes that we are now seeing and ways to deal with issues created by those changes.
