ODT at a glance

ODT

OpenDocument grew out of the push for openly specified office formats, and ODT became one of its most visible outcomes as governments and institutions looked for alternatives to vendor-owned document ecosystems.

DDS at a glance

DDS

DDS grew out of Microsoft's graphics API and game-development ecosystem, which is why it feels more like an engine or texture-delivery format than a conventional consumer image file.
