Re: Competition Types [was Re: Meeting 22 Nov (09:00 UTC)]

Dear all,

Just to continue with the discussion on how to represent the calendar of
competitions, I've been researching on the existing vocabularies. This is a
proposal that I think covers all the requirements you have mentioned.

(terms simplified for a clearer notation)

{
    "name": [
        {
            "@value" : "XXVIII Santa Pola Half Marathon",
            "@language" : "en"
        },
        {
            "@value" : "XXVIII Mitja Maraton Villa Santa Pola",
            "@language" : "ca"
        }
    ],       ^^^Names in several languages
    "category" : [ "U23", "SEN", "M35", "M40", "M45"],
    "discipline" : "HM",
    "url": "http://www.mitjasantapola.com",
    "image": "http://www.mitjasantapola.com/+++santa_pola.png",
    "location": {
        "name": "Calle Muelle, Santa Pola",
        "map": "https://www.google.es/maps/@38.1900419,-0.5587148,17z",
        "geo": {
            "lat": 38.1900419,
            "lng" : -0.5587148,
            "elevation" : 17.2
        },
        "address": {
            "streetAddress": "Calle Muelle",
            "addressLocality": "Santa Pola",
            "postalCode": "03130",
            "addressCountry": "ESP"
        }
    },
    "startDate": "2017-01-12",
    "endDate": "2017-01-13",
    "status": "Finished",
    "organizer": {
        "name": "Club Atletismo Santa Pola",
        "address": {
            "streetAddress": "Av. Albacete, 10",
            "addressLocality": "Santa Pola",
            "postalCode": "03130",
            "addressCountry": "ESP"
        },
        "telephone" : "(+34) 966 69 00 99",
        "email": "atletismosantapola@gmail.com"
    },
    "entryRequirements": "Athletes with RFEA Licence and…",
    "license": "IAAF-Bronze-Road-Race",
    "audience" : "International",
   …
}

The competiion may be "licensed" under a specific terms. This could be
those permits you already mentioned. Can those *labels* be considered as
licenses?

Anyway, 'labels or permits' may be defined with an existing schema.org type
(http://schema.org/Permit).

For instance:
{
  "type" : "Permit",
  "name" : "IAAF Copper Meeting Label",
  "issuedBy" : "IAAF",
  "validIn" : "Europe",
  …
}
It is clear that calendars consider, at least "national" and
"international" The level of coverage of the competition could be also
indicated with the expected "audience" of the competition: international
audience, national audience?

Talk to you tomorrow!
