Re: IPTC Sport Schema

Thanks Ryan, that’s very encouraging. What do you think next steps for bringing the two ontologies together could be? A comparison of classes like we’ve done here? https://sportschema.org/other-models/

And would this be the best forum to carry on those discussions?

Regards,

Paul

PS: Sorry for the delayed response

So in schema.org we can use Role to specify time-limited memberships like you encode in this schema directly.  But we also allow so#athlete as a time snapshot for membership (which is frankly more used).  We also have so#homeTeam and so#awayTeam which are again shortcuts for your participation alignments.  But the IPTC schema seems like a great model to push in the direction of and I think many of the types there could be directly co-typed with schema.org types without problems.
