Convert UOS to ODS

The UOS (Uniform Office Spreadsheet) file extension is used for spreadsheets created in the Uniform Office Format (UOF), a Chinese-developed open standard for office productivity applications. Introduced in 2007, UOS files save data using XML and compression, making them similar to but not compatible with Microsoft Office Open XML and OASIS OpenDocument formats. These files can be opened by applications like OpenOffice Calc.

An OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) file is utilized for storing spreadsheet data and is compatible with various office software suites such as Apache OpenOffice Calc. Originating from the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF) standard, the ODS extension ensures interoperability across different software platforms by using XML-based open format. First ratified in 2005, ODF was developed to provide an open, vendor-neutral format for office applications, promoting accessibility and long-term archival. In a professional IT context, ODS files are valued for their flexibility, standardization, and ability to be integrated seamlessly into diverse computational environments.
