Overview
ISO/IEC 26300:2006/Cor 1:2010 is Technical Corrigendum 1 to the Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) v1.0. Published 2010‑12‑15 by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34, this corrigendum provides editorial corrections, clarifications and small semantic fixes to the original ISO/IEC 26300:2006 text. It is not a new ODF version; it refines wording, attribute and element names, examples and cross‑references to improve interoperability and implementer guidance.
Key Topics
- Editorial and semantic corrections: many clauses receive wording fixes to remove ambiguities (e.g., clarifying how subdocument root elements combine, fixing typos and grammar).
- Field display behavior: clarified text:display semantics for fields (value vs. formula and unsupported cases).
- Drawing and glue point alignment: revised description of the draw:align attribute to specify horizontal/vertical edge alignment for absolute glue points.
- Shape and geometry corrections: improved descriptions for polygon sharpness, coordinate naming and shape parameter references.
- Chart and axis attributes: corrections to chart attribute names (e.g., chart:interpolation, chart:visible, chart:logarithmic, chart:interval‑minor) and detailed tick‑mark attribute behavior.
- Presentation properties: fixes to presentation property names and additions to transition-related properties (Type/Family, Subtype, Direction, Fade Color) and duration attribute names.
- Schema and element name fixes: corrected XML element/attribute names (e.g., style:drawing-page-properties, presentation:duration) and schema tokens (wrap‑dynamic‑threshold).
- Media type and thumbnail references: updates to IANA media-type links and thumbnail casing; removal/addition of external references (TMS, CSS3Text) where applicable.
- Packaging and object representation: clarified handling of objects with or without XML representations (OLE and folder storage, xlink references).
Applications
- Office suite developers use the corrigendum to ensure that ODF readers/writers implement attribute names and behaviors exactly as intended, improving document fidelity.
- Interoperability and QA teams apply these corrections to test suites and validators to reduce cross‑product inconsistencies.
- Document converters and archiving systems rely on corrected media type, thumbnail and packaging rules to preserve documents across formats and long‑term storage.
- Standards authors and technical writers reference the corrigendum to align normative language and examples with current ODF usage.
Related Standards
- ISO/IEC 26300:2006 (OpenDocument v1.0) - base standard corrected by this document
- References in the corrigendum include IANA media‑type registry and CSS/Text and thumbnail conventions mentioned for implementation details.
