IOF Interface Standard frozen
During the last month and a half no changes have been necessary to the
data standard. It seems that we have reached a point where stability
is more important than rapid reaction to new suggestions. The
stability is especially needed to give the implementing software
vendors time to finish the implementation.
Therefore the standard is now frozen at its current version
(2.0.3). This means that there will be no more changes this year. Next
winter we will evaluate the standard and the implementation to see
what needs to be changed. The timeframe will be:
- April - October 2002 : Implementation and gaining of experiences
from practical use.
- November - December 2002 : Evaluation and discussion of next version.
- January 1, 2003 : Next version of the standard is ready.
We hop that especially the World Cup 2002 Result Project will provide
valueable experience as this makes heavy use of the standard to
collect results from the different World Cup events.
If you are a software developer then we would be very pleased if you
would consider using the Data Standard and tell us your experiences
with it.
If you otherwise are interested, please take a look at the standards
and tell us your meaning. Send your comments to one of the following:
