Description

This diagram depicts all of the conformance targets for OpenDocument Documents and OpenDocument Packages, illustrating how they are related to each other.

The nesting represents specialization. For example, [Conforming] Document is a specialization of [Conforming] Extended Document, which is either a specialization of XML 1.0 or of [Conforming] OpenDocument Extended Package. A [Conforming] OpenDocument Text Document is a specialization of [Conforming] OpenDocument Document, and so on.

The document structures overlay the package structures (and XML 1.0) in various ways that are also reflected in the diagram.

The specific conditions of specialization are not identified, although some of the pertinent package variations are illustrated.

In particular, introduced in v1.1 of the diagram, the ways that an otherwise-conforming Document, such as a Text Document, can be limited to Extended Document is reflected in a new "foreign-markup notch" and "other-META-INF" tails. OpenDocument Extended Documents having such features are inadmissable as any form of [Conforming] OpenDocument Document, even though they otherwise satisfy the requirements of, e.g., an OpenDocument Text Document.

In v1.2, the differentiation of RDF files, subdocuments, and other files to be accounted for in the [Conforming] OpenDocument [class] Document provisions are also reflected by subdivisions of the OpenDocument Extended Package coverage.

This is the stable diagram. Annotation for additional detail and differentiation among the various cases will be accomplished by other means.

Suggestions for clarification, improvements, and next steps are welcome.
