Dear LegalDocML TC members,

To help advance the development of international exchange standards for 
legislative data, the US Library of Congress is sponsoring data 
challenges incorporating the Akoma Ntoso open standard for legal 
documents. The first challenge, Markup of US Legislation in Akoma Ntoso, 
opened today and invites competitors to create representations of four 
specific US bills using the most recent Akoma Ntoso XML schema.

Rather than trying to convert existing US bill XML to the proposed Akoma 
Ntoso standard, this challenge asks competitors to markup the raw text 
versions of US bills using the structure, elements, and attributes of 
the Akoma Ntoso schema and produce an entirely new XML version of the bill.

To learn more about the challenge, please visit Challenge.gov, the Law 
Library of Congress blog, In Custodia Legis, or read the official press 
release.

Sincerely,
Tina Gheen
US Library of Congress
