ODFpy
Creator: Søren Roug
Odfpy aims to be a complete API for OpenDocument in Python. Unlike other more convenient APIs, this one is essentially an abstraction layer just above the XML format. The main focus has been to prevent the programmer from creating invalid documents. It has checks that raise an exception if the programmer adds an invalid element, adds an attribute unknown to the grammar, forgets to add a required attribute or adds text to an element that doesn’t allow it.

Open OpenDocument Connector
Creator: Jean-Marie Gouarne
License: GNU Lesser General Public Licence, version 2.1
The Open OpenDocument Connector is a Perl-based application programming interface, which can be regarded as a way to build bridges between office documents and business applications. It allows the applications to directly create, retrieve, export, update or remove any content or layout element in OpenDocument-compliant files through a powerful scripting language. The main goal of the Open OpenDocument Connector (OODoc) is to allow quick application development in 2 areas:
- replacement of old-style, proprietary, client-based macros for intensive and non-interactive document processing;
- direct read/write operations by enterprise software on office documents, and/or document-driven applications.
OODoc provides an abstraction of the document objects and isolates the programmer from low level XML navigation, UTF8 encoding and file compression details.

PHP OpenOffice.Org Template
Creator: Provincia di Lucca, ciancia at di.unipi.it
This is a project to build a simple template engine to modify ODF documents from PHP. The purpose is to enable ODF users to write templates, including user variables that can be set programmatically. This gives one the possibility to create pre-defined forms directly in an application, and then to fill in the form fields from PHP, e.g. taking the input from an html form, and to serve an ODT, RTF or PDF document.
The power of the library comes from XSLT manipulation of the odt format. You can create your own xslt transformations and apply those to the odt document, that can subsequently be converted using php-o3-template. If no conversion (e.g. into PDF or RTF) takes place, then the system will not use other software (e.g. an openoffice.org runtime), and it will be very fast. If needed, an openoffice.org instance will be automatically run in a virtual X server, and will be kept running to minimise response times on subsequent invocations.

ODFweave
The Sweave function (Leisch, 2002) is a powerful component of R. It can be used to combine R code with LATEX, HTML and ODF so that the output of the code is embedded in the processed document. A written record of an analysis can be created using Sweave, but additional annotation of the results may be needed such as context–specific interpretation of the results. Sweave can be used to automatically create reports, but it can be difficult for researchers to add their subject–specific insight to pdf or HTML files. The odfWeave package was created so that the functionality of Sweave can used to generate documents that the end–user can easily edit.
