About formats

ODT (OpenDocument Text) is the word processing format defined by the OpenDocument Format (ODF) standard, developed by the OASIS technical committee and first published as ODF 1.0 on May 1, 2005, later adopted as international standard ISO/IEC 26300. An ODT file is a ZIP archive containing XML documents that describe text content, formatting styles, metadata, and settings using a vendor-neutral, royalty-free specification. The document body resides in content.xml with styling rules in styles.xml, while embedded images, fonts, and other resources are stored alongside in the package. The format supports rich word processing features including paragraph and character styles, tables, footnotes, tracked changes, table of contents generation, bibliography management, mail merge fields, and embedded vector and raster graphics. ODT serves as the native format for LibreOffice Writer, Apache OpenOffice Writer, and Calligra Words, and can be imported by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and other commercial tools. One advantage is vendor independence — ODT is governed by an open standard rather than a single company, ensuring long-term document accessibility free from proprietary lock-in. This makes ODT particularly important for government agencies, educational institutions, and organizations with archival mandates. The XML-based architecture provides another strength, enabling programmatic document generation and processing using standard tools in any programming language.

DjVu (pronounced "deja vu") is a document format developed at AT&T Labs by Yann LeCun, Leon Bottou, Patrick Haffner, and Paul Howard, first released in 1996. The format was specifically designed for storing scanned documents and images at very high compression ratios while maintaining visual quality suitable for on-screen reading. DjVu achieves this through a layered approach: the document image is separated into a foreground layer (text and line art at full resolution), a background layer (photographs and textures at reduced resolution), and a mask layer that determines which layer is visible at each pixel. This separation, combined with purpose-built compression algorithms for each layer type, typically produces files 5-10 times smaller than equivalent JPEG or PDF scans. One advantage is exceptional compression on scanned pages — a 300 DPI color scan that might occupy 25 MB as TIFF or 500 KB as JPEG typically compresses to 40-80 KB in DjVu while preserving legible text. The progressive rendering model is another strength: DjVu files stream efficiently over networks, displaying a readable low-resolution version almost immediately while progressively refining to full quality. The format supports multi-page documents, embedded text layers for searchability, hyperlinks, annotations, and a shared dictionary mechanism that further compresses collections of similar pages. DjVu is widely used by libraries and archives for digitized historical documents and manuscripts.
