for its office documents, according to the statement posted on the go= vernmental Web site by Peter Quinn, chief information officer for Massach= usetts. Developed within Organization for the Advancement of Structured I= nformation Standards <a href=3D"/news/article/0,aid,114906,00.asp">(OASIS= )</a>, OpenDocument is an XML (Extensible Markup Language)-based file for= mat that covers the features required by text, spreadsheets, charts, and = graphical documents. </p> <p class=3D"black13lh15"></p> <div class=3D"blackBold15lh17">Proprietary Format Rejected</div> <p class=3D"black13lh15">The decision to move to OpenDocument from propri= etary document formats came after "a series of discussions with industry = representatives and experts about our future direction," according to Qui= nn. Those discussions focused on "open formats particularly as they relat= e to office documents, their importance for the current and future access= ibility of government records, and the relative 'openness' of the format = options available to us," he said. </p> <p class=3D"black13lh15">Microsoft Office and other <a href=3D"/resource/= browse/0,cat,1241,sortIdx,1,pg,1,00.asp">productivity suites</a> such as = <a href=3D"/resource/browse/0,cat,1245,sortIdx,1,pg,1,00.asp">Lotus Notes= </a> and <a href=3D"/resource/browse/0,cat,1243,sortIdx,1,pg,1,00.asp">Co= rel WordPerfect</a> that Massachusetts government agencies currently use = support proprietary document formats, according to the commonwealth. Suit= es that support OpenDocument include <a href=3D"/resource/browse/0,cat,12= 44,sortIdx,1,pg,1,00.asp">OpenOffice and StarOffice</a>, as well as KOffi= ce and IBM Workplace. </p> <p class=3D"black13lh15">Because most of Massachusetts' government agenci= es are using these suites that support proprietary document formats, the = "magnitude of the new migration effort to this new open standard is consi= derable," according to the commonwealth. It expects its agencies to devel= op phased migration plans with a target implementation date of January 1,= 2007. </p> <p class=3D"black13lh15"></p> <div class=3D"blackBold15lh17">Microsoft Cites XML Support</div> <p class=3D"black13lh15">A Microsoft spokesperson said that the company's= support of XML in Office and other products shows that Microsoft, too, i= s in favor of open formats for data interoperability and the archiving of= public records. However, Microsoft does not believe the public sector sh= ould force a single document format on its agencies, especially one that = may be less functional than what they are already using, the spokesperson= said. </p> <p class=3D"black13lh15">She added that as various file formats, such as = those for documents, photos, video and audio files, become more intertwin= ed, it would be a mistake to support OpenDocument and not other XML schem= as for different file formats. </p> <p class=3D"black13lh15">While a number of government agencies across the= world have expressed plans to drop Microsoft products in favor of open-s= ource and open-standard technologies, Massachusetts is the first major pu= blic-sector institution to do so in the U.S. Other noteworthy instances i= n which Microsoft software is being replaced by open-source technology in= clude the adoption of Linux in the cities of <a href=3D"/news/article/0,a= id,116568,00.asp">Munich, Germany</a>;
