Model proposed by WA for competition results

Dear participant,

As discussed in our last community group meeting, we will document a common data model for competitions, based on the World Athletics requirements. We already have received input from Andras (thank you!), who sent a well-documented specification [1] about the service the WA is implementing to receive WA-recognized competition results.

I've analyzed the document and I've drafted an abstract model based on the specification, also with a high-level UML diagram to clarify the relations between entities (I created some auxiliary entities to facilitate the representation). This could serve as first step to review the model and see if member federations and server suppliers miss something in the proposed model and schema.  

So, have a look at the document: 
->  https://w3c.github.io/opentrack-cg/incubation/wa-competition-model/


Please send your comments, add your annotations and suggest changes on this proposal. We can iterate on this first model and discuss all the contributions in the next meeting, scheduled on 11th Jan (09:00 CET).

In the meantime, I would like to raise some questions on the current model: 
1) Could we have local identifiers for athletes represented as `strings` instead of `integers` (e.g., athlete IDs in Spain like `MA-02983`)?
2) Competition's venues are represented as an array that is not linked to the specific competition units. May they be necessary for specific unit competitions and results?
3) Should we recommend `startTime` and `endTime` of a `UnitCompetition` be under a timezone of reference(e.g., UTC)? 

Have a good Christmas time!

Best,

Martin
