<title>BBC: Questions for Microsoft on open formats</title>
<body>
Featured article by <a href="/about/greve">Georg Greve</a> and <a href="/about/jakobs/">Joachim Jakobs</a>
about the need for Open Standards in archival, and why using MS-OOXML risks future data loss:

But without knowledge about the encoding, our documents will become a meaningless series of ones and zeroes to future generations, just like cave paintings are too often meaningless bits of colour on stone to us."
