\maketitle
\begin{slide}
{Ouverture}
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf Subject:} \\
This talk is about extracting and using meta-data
from the OpenOffice.org/OpenDocument file format.
\item {\bf Audience:} \\
System administrators, system programmers and
information system decision makers.
\end{itemize}
I will talk about what you can (tell your programmers to) do,
if your documents are in an open
format. Once I have told you what you {\em can} do, I will give
you some examples of {\em how} to do it with standard Linux tools.
~
Feel free to ask questions at {\em any} time during the talk.

% Overview
\begin{slide}
{Overview (1)}
\begin{itemize}
\item {\em What you can do, if your documents are in an open
format.}
\item A look into an OpenOffice.org file.
\item Indexing OpenOffice.org documents.
\item Preventing document histories from leaking out through your
firewall.
\end{itemize}
\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
{Open file formats}
\begin{quotation}
The minimum requirements for an open standard are that the
document format is completely described in publicly accessible
documents, [\ldots] and that the document format may be
implemented in programs without restrictions, royalty-free, and
with no legal bindings.
\end{quotation}

\end{slide}
\begin{slide}
{Benefits from using open file formats}
\begin{itemize}
\item Not tied to a single software provider.
\item Lower price on off-the-shelf software.
\item Freedom to (make your programmers) implement special
in-house tools.
\item It is more likely that you can find Open Source programs
which already solve your problems.
\end{itemize}
\end{slide}
\begin{slide}
{Ideas for special in-house tools}
Since the OpenOffice.org/OpenDocument file format is open, you
are free to (make your programmers) write
special tools for manipulating the files:
\begin{itemize}
\item Extracting titles and keywords for automated document indices.
\item Blocking documents containing their editing history from
exiting through the corporate firewall.
\item Warning authors about lacking project codes in documents.
\item \ldots
\end{itemize}
Only your imagination (and your ability to explain your ideas)
sets limits.
