Re: Common database for type of events (with ids)

Hi all!

Martin, thanx for the initiative, I would be happy to join in on this!

Also, having in mind that two years ago WA introduced competition rank 
categories, and I found that there it should be extended somewhat with 
3-4 additional items so that all events can be functionally classified, 
would id be possible to open a document for that as well?

Time ago, I created a first list with the main event recognized by the IAAF rules book. See this early proposal at [2]. If you like the idea, we can collectively maintain this database within the GitHub repository. So everyone could propose changes. This could also serve to keep an update map of different identifiers from different systems. Also, we will be able to generate the complementary machine-readable representation of that information.
