Convert SYLK to OTS

The SYLK (Symbolic Link) file extension, primarily used in the context of data interchange between applications, was introduced by Microsoft. These files facilitate the transfer of spreadsheet data to programs like Microsoft Excel. SYLK files contain symbolic representations of spreadsheet information, streamlining data import and export processes. Although their prevalence has waned with the advent of more advanced formats, SYLK files remain an important part of data management history due to their role in early software interoperability and data exchange standards.

The OTS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template) file extension, maintained by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), is used to create spreadsheet templates with predefined styles and formatting in Apache OpenOffice Calc. Introduced in 2005, OTS files facilitate the creation of consistent and reusable templates for tasks like budget planning and invoicing. These files are XML-based, compressed as ZIP archives, and compatible with various open-source spreadsheet applications.
