This document uses the following terms:

manifest file: An XML file containing metadata that defines the contents of an OpenDocument package.

master page: An ASP.NET file that has a predefined layout that can include static text, HTML elements, and server controls.

OASIS: Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards: A consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of open standards for Web services, security, and e-business, and promotes standardization efforts in the public sector and application-specific markets.

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE): A technology for transferring and sharing information between applications by inserting a file or part of a file into a compound document. The inserted file can be either embedded or linked. See also embedded object and linked object.

package: An organization of objects into a single entity of a defined physical format for portability and efficient access. Package implementations use compressed files and other physical formats such as an XML document, a database, or a web service. Like a file system, items contained in a package are referenced in a hierarchical organization of folders and files.

red-green-blue (RGB): A color model that describes color information in terms of the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) intensities in a color.

roundtrip: The act of preserving a piece of data between saves of a document or from the original opening of a document to its first save.

Unicode: A character encoding standard developed by the Unicode Consortium that represents almost all of the written languages of the world. The Unicode standard [UNICODE5.0.0/2007] provides three forms (UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32) and seven schemes (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16 BE, UTF-16 LE, UTF-32, UTF-32 LE, and UTF-32 BE).

Uniform Resource Locator (URL): A string of characters in a standardized format that identifies a document or resource on the World Wide Web. The format is as specified in [RFC1738].

XML: The Extensible Markup Language, as described in [XML1.0].

XML namespace: A collection of names that is used to identify elements, types, and attributes in XML documents identified in a URI reference [RFC3986]. A combination of XML namespace and local name allows XML documents to use elements, types, and attributes that have the same names but come from different sources. For more information, see [XMLNS-2ED].

XML Schema (XSD): A language that defines the elements, attributes, namespaces, and data types for XML documents as defined by [XMLSCHEMA1/2] and [XMLSCHEMA2/2] standards. An XML schema uses XML syntax for its language.

XSL Transformation (XSLT): A declarative, XML-based language that is used to present or transform XML data. It is designed for use as part of the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL).

MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as defined in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.
