Enriching The Interactive User Experience Of Open Document Format

The typical user experience of office documents is geared to the passive recording of user content creation. In this paper, we describe how to provide more active content within such documents based on elaborating the integration between Open Document Format (ODF) and the WK standard for rich interactivity and data management in web pages (XForrns). This includes assignment of more comprehensive behaviors to single form controls, better control over collections of form controls, readonly and conditional sections of mixed content and form controls, and dynamically repeated sections automatically responsive to data changes, including data obtained from web services invoked during user interaction with the document.
