Each implementer will have 5/10 minutes to demonstrate their understanding of the protocol and how well it is implemented at a session at TMRA. (see the TMRA 2008 program)
Implementations MUST be based on a commercial or open source topic maps
engine.
Implementations do not need to be complete to compete.
Implementation source must be available as open source sometime after
the close of the competition.
Implementers must submit source code on the day of judging. This will be
used to review the quality of implementation and not kept for any other
purpose.
The judges will decide upon the best 3 implementations.
Implementations will be judged equally on:
- completeness of implementation - accuracy of implementation based on interactions with the
reference implementations provided by Marc Kuster and Networked Planet.
The judges decision is final. The names of the winners will be published at the website.
Registration of interest by Wednesday the 1st October.
