RE: Restructuring of Opentrack-lite JSON

Good evening to everyone,

    In Ukraine we shall have on 11 November our local Statistician Conference. The idea was not new, but this year I am trying to get our specialists in one place to discuss different topics. The main subject is our National records data, we have some problems with it, and need to put all dots on ā€œiā€. I have invited Richard Hymans (GBR), he helped us a lot with commentary of ATFS position about some of doubtful marks. Also, one of the topics will be about AthTech meeting in Algarve: detailed report and key points were we can work on with international community.
    As we had previously discussed, if all is fine, we plan to start working on data exchange standard implementation in November, when will be not so many other work.
    You do a great job! And we should continue to work in this direction and statistics in general.

Subject: Restructuring of Opentrack-lite JSON

Further to our meeting this morning, we're making some changes to the "opentrack-lite" specification.  We aim to have this done, with sample data, by the call next week, so we can then move onto schemas and validation code.

The current, fairly messy and repetitive, JSON can be seen here for some World Champs events:
       https://data.opentrack.run/x/2017/GBR/wc/json/

1. In general, if something has a name, we are adding 'Local'-suffixed fields to hold the text in non-Latin scripts.  e.g. for personal names, we have

  firstName, firstNameLocal
  lastName, lastNameLocal

This is necessary to do results for Cyrillic countries, Japan etc.

2. Each Competitor will have a list of the event_ids they are entered for.  Right now, we list the category and discipline (e.g. ["Senior", "PV"], but it's hard to get from this to the specific event, and it's not sufficient because there might be a separate pole vault in the decathlon and open competition.

3. We will stop repeating peoples' names everywhere.  Details about the Person lives under 'Competitors'; within start lists or results, we just output the competitor_id (which is often their bib number).

I'll update the list when this is done.
