As everyone has pointed out, sports (including the question of "What is a sport?"), gets complicated very quickly with many, many corner cases. The original sports collaboration working group debated all of these questions (and more) and ultimately decided to offer a schema that would serve the 99% case of modeling who played what and what was the result. Everyone who participated assumed we would need to revisit the schema to augment it for particular sports or situations. I don't want to suppress the discussion, just to say that this is a large domain and it is easy to get lost in the weeds. - Vicki Vicki Tardif Holland | Ontologist | vtardif@google.com On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 2:30 PM, Peter F.
