******Call for Plugin Submissions*****
***************************************************
NeOn Plugin Developer Contest
http://www.neon-toolkit.org/developers-contest-> Develop a Plugin for the NeOn Toolkit
-> WIN UP TO 2000 €
-> Deadline is 31st October 2008
***************************************************
The NeOn project is seeking to create an open, service-centred
reference architecture for managing the complete lifecycle of
networked ontologies. This architecture is realised through the NeOn
Toolkit, a new generation ontology engineering environment for
semantic applications. The NeOn Toolkit is designed around an open and
modular architecture, which includes infrastructure services, such as
registry and repository, and supports distributed components for
ontology management, reasoning and collaboration in networked
ontologies.
The NeOn Toolkit is freely available in open source as the reference
implementation of the NeOn architecture. Building on the Eclipse
platform, the Toolkit provides an open framework for plug-in
developers. Within the NeOn project, we are organizing a plugin
developers contest to stimulate the creation of a wider developers’
community around the NeOn Toolkit. The most original and innovative
plugins (please see website for judging criteria) will be awarded
attractive prizes.
