Best Use of Software Tags
The 2010 Best Use of Software Tags Contest will identify and recommend those SAM vendors who have clearly demonstrated the use of tags in their technology.
Description
This contest is being sponsored by The ITAM Review and TagVault.org.
The purpose of the contest is to identify those SAM tool vendors who have recognized the necessity of using software identification 
(SWID) tags as already deployed by Adobe Systems Inc. as well as tags that fully conform to the ISO/IEC 19770-2:2009 standard.
Support for SWID tags by publishers and SAM tool providers is gaining significant traction as organisations realise the bottom line benefits of SWID tags. For example SWID tags are on the road to becoming a standard requirement for software sold to the US Federal Government.
