Compound Document Format (CDF) is an electronic document file format developed by the W3C[1] that contains multiple formats, such as SVG, XHTML, SMIL and XForms.[2]

The OpenDocument Foundation which previously supported OpenDocument Format (ODF), in a second moment has switched alliances and started promoting CDF.[1] As of November 11, 2007, the official website has been shut down, probably marking the end of the OpenDocument Foundation.
