How to store the result of a football event #2336

Closed julienhohm closed 4 years ago

julienhohm commented 5 years ago

Hello,

I'm working on a project to create an API to get games and rank of a football championship. I want to store items in database following the schema.org rules. So, I use SportsOrganization for the sports, in case of multi sports API in the future, SportsOrganization for the differents championships like Ligue 1, Liga, Champion's League, etc, EventSeries to store the calendar of a championship and SportEvent to store the game between two teams.

In my SportEvent, I have homeTeam, awayTeam and startDate. However, after many searches, I still don't know what range should be my property score.

Is someone could help me ? Many thanks

The short answer here is that, AFAIK, there is currently no way to express the results of a SportsEvent using schema.org.

Extending the existing sporting event-facing vocabulary has been much discussed over the years. You can see a number of prior proposals archived here.

You might also be interested in the Sports Competition Data Model and Vocabulary Draft Report published recently by the OpenTrack Community Group (although, as the name of the Group suggests, the vocabulary is more oriented toward athletics competition like track and field, rather than team sports like football).

I have already seen these documents, and if I understand, this is just an improvement not yet integrated in schema.org and maybe never.

So, for the moment, the best solution I found is to use the property description from Thing
