Modelling Opportunity Data 2.0 released and next steps.

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce that, following final period of review, we have
published the 2.0 release of the Modelling Opportunity Data specification:

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

There were a few very minor changes to the document, to fix up a typo,
update the table of properties and clarify a couple of conformance criteria
in the text.

We encourage all publishers to upgrade to the latest specification. New
data releases should target the 2.0 specification which will provide for
better quality data within the ecosystem.

Work on the data validator has also completed. This tool should be
compliant with the latest version of the specification. We recommend using
it to review existing feeds and to help test new data releases.

Our next task will be to release some additional reference documentation
for the data model and deploy a tool to support community editing of the
activity list.

Beyond that we plan to continue to iterate on the booking specification to
move it towards 1.0. We've had quite a bit of feedback on the specification
which is all welcomed. We'll be taking time to review and act on this
before moving forward to ensure we have an API that works for everyone and
provides a foundation for future work.

Cheers,

L.
