Present:

[Martin presented the latest steps in the document]
Martin: The model is split in two: competition and competitors. Just to make more understandable diagrams and the document.
... Revised the BBC Sports Ontology, including the same names they used. The model is still compatible with the one we had (only a few major changes).
... Included all the information regarding codes of competitions. All the codes Nicolas sent are included. Also all from IOC ODF.
... Also included examples of implementation of the model. I used intuitive graphs, really easy to understand.
... I'll continue with more examples.

Martin: I changed the disciplines taxonomy [https://github.com/w3c/opentrack-cg/blob/master/spec/model/disciplines.md]. I think this is now stable because we include all the official (EA, IAAF) high-level disciplines, and in the first level the ODF disciplines (races, throws, vertical and horizontal jumps)
Chiheb: Does it include indoor stadia types?
Martin: Yes. It's included in the parent as a main feature of Discipline.
AndyW: How do we represent for instance XC relays.
Martin: There is a property about types of competition (it could be time trial, relays, etc.).

Andy: In a few weeks we will start representing information about people and roles involved in the competition. All people included systems supplier, volunteers, etc.
Martin: We have an early list of roles (https://github.com/w3c/opentrack-cg/blob/master/spec/model/overview.md#roles). This part will be easy, all are Persons with a specific role. Only difficulties to create the list of roles.
[Andy showing flags on results]
Andy: We will create a flags repository. Open to all. Everyone will be able to submit their flag.
... Now we have all the international flags. We could set recommendations about sizes and format.
Antonio: I suggest using SVG. It's more appropriate.
Andy: The only problem is tools, but I agree.
Martin: +1 to SVG
... I'll continue with the model, now analysing SportsML and other vocabularies related.
... I'll send you an update later this week.
... Thanks!
