.ODM

OpenDocument Master Document

📌 .ODM extension belongs to the master text document generated and opened up by OpenOffice Writer or another distinctive word processor, compliant with OpenDocument standard. The .ODM format includes several integrated .ODT components, combined together into a unified master text document. Furthermore, .ODM resources can be also combined with a table of contents and an index. Particularly, .ODM objects allow users to save individual document sections, such as report footers and headers or chapters, as diverse documents (.ODT sources). Afterwards, each section can be effortlessly edited and recombined with the master file.

OverDrive Media File

📌 The noted .ODM object definition correlates with a media file shortcut to a disk file, stored within the Digital Library Reserve, such as a music file, eBook or audio record. The predefined .ODM entry instance is handled and maintained by the OverDrive Media Console, which serves for downloading the corresponding media resource when the .ODM record is opened on the client side and the request is sent to the server to proceed with the transaction execution. Currently the OverDrive company has completely terminated the Media Console toolkit maintenance and support phases.
