The Open Document Text filename extension format is an alternative open source document and text processing file format allowing users to create text documents that can be opened and edited by an extensive list of document processing applications. Both proprietary applications (such as in Microsoft Office word) and open source document processing applications (such as OpenOffice) support the .odt filename extension allowing for interoperability between software systems. The format is useful to those creating documents meant to target a wide audience and not necessarily an audience with a specific document processing suite. The extension was first released in 2005.
The .ZIP file extension format is a file archive and data compression format originally developed and released in 1989 by Phil Katz. With compatible zip format software, a file or a group of files can be packed (compressed) into a single .zip archive which can later be unpacked (decompressed). The zip file archive format facilitates the distribution of multiple files as single archives particularly over the internet and networked systems. Many operating systems have native support for the file format and can usually open zip archives without the need for third party software. Microsoft windows for instance has had native support for the ZIP format since Microsoft Windows 98, similarly Apple's Mac OS includes ZIP support through its default archive file handle Archive Utility.

Extended from an XML based file format for documents, .odt was standardized as an open source format for text document processing in ISO/IEC 26300:2006 in 2005 by the OASIS consortium. The filename extension is primarily associated with Apache OpenOffice Suite. As a format, .odt supports several predefined and user customizable metadata fields such as document statistics, title, subject etc. It possesses advanced document processing capabilities such as lists, headings, and numbered paragraphs. Other features include auto generated tables such as bibliographies, indexes, and table of contents.
Many other common filename extensions use the ZIP format in one aspect or another, for example JAR, .WAR, .DOCX, .XLXS, .PPTX, .ODT, .ODS, .ODP all utilize the ZIP format. The ZIP format provides for data integrity through the CRC32 specification with support for digital signatures. It also supports multiple compression algorithms but commonly utilizes the DEFLATE algorithm.
