In summary think of it as SGML with programable DTDs Plus DSSSL all in one open standard. Some years ago a group of companies, which included IBM formed a consortium to produce an ODA Toolkit. Not sure what became of the toolkit nor the consortium. If your're interested I might know someone who can answer any questions. These days XML might be a better approach, use of ODA was just an idea. PJR
