RE: Schema.org Sports Vocabulary Proposal

All,

I have published an updated version of this proposal which removes the ability to define statistics for a Person or SportsTeam outside the context of an event.  This eliminates the need to introduce the temporal scoping properties of 'startDate', 'endDate', and 'duringEvent' which I expected would soon be deprecated via a more broad solution in the near future.  In addition, the concept of 'ResultType' has been renamed to 'CompetitionDecision' in an effort to be more semantically correct.  The respective referring properties have been updated as well.  A full change log has been added to the bottom of the document.

The new version is available for download via the web schema's sports wiki<http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Sports> and continued feedback is encouraged and welcomed :)

Cheers,

- Jason

Subject: Schema.org Sports Vocabulary Proposal


The Schema.org partners, in collaboration with experts from the BBC and IPTC/SportsML, are pleased to share a proposal for improving the Schema.org sports vocabulary.  The proposal includes support for describing sports organizations, athletes, and events, with a focus on the most common sports types being published on the Web today. Although the proposal includes support for describing sports statistics within these domains, the initial set of properties are limited to those which are broadly applicable.  More detailed, sport-specific statistics will be the subject of future additions to the base statistic classes.

The Schema.org sports vocabulary proposal is available as an exported PDF in the W3C Web Schemas - Sports wiki<http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Sports> and a machine readable version of the schema will be posted soon.  We encourage the web community to review and provide feedback via the wiki, this mailing list, or by joining the Schema.org sports vocabulary discussion group<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sports-schema-collab>.
