Request for input: describing events

Hi,

I'd like to request some specific input from the group to help address
areas of the specification that needs further work.

The relevant context is Section 3.3 and 4.3.2 of the current draft:

https://www.openactive.io/modelling-opportunity-data/#events

This is also covered by Issue 3:

https://github.com/openactive/modelling-opportunity-data/issues/3

I want to identify:

* which descriptive properties are most relevant for people searching for
events?
* what are the additional properties of events we need to describe?
* what controlled vocabularies, e.g. age ranges, fitness levels, etc are
already in use?
* do we need to define some standard values for these properties, or just
allow people to publish what they currently capture?

You can contribute to this by

* posting your thoughts on the above questions
* sharing general requirements / experience from your own systems
* sharing example data, e.g. list of tags, age ranges, etc to the list
* sharing pointers to event descriptions that help illustrate use of the
properties

We'll be focusing on this area during our next community call, as I think
its the main area of the specification that currently needs most input. But
I'd like to be going into that meeting with some comments and suggestions
for discussion.

As always, please share comments with the list or on github.

Thanks!

L.
