Type of competitions with predefined taxonomy

[espinr]

Proposal by Nicolas Launois:

• Does the data model allow to categorize the category of "competition" or "competition series" like it is done on the EA calendar ?(ex. World Championships, Area Championships, National Championships, IAAF meet, EAA meet, national label meet....). It doesn't bring value for that meet in itself, but that would be useful later, looking at the statistics angle, as it will allow to extract and group results of the same type. If all National championships from Europe are tagged as National Championships, you can filter those results easily from the mass of result files.That could also be useful to reflect a certain hierarchy of events at the time when the IAAF and EA are setting different meet categories for the purpose of the new athletes rankings. However, that would require to create a new list of values, so I'm not sure if that would fit in the high level definition of the data model.

Researching on the level of coverage of events with the help of the Spanish Federation (thanks, Juanjo and Anacleto). And contrasting them with some other national federations, we see this common taxonomy:

• World (IAAF, IOC, or similar)
• Area. Including several nations or regions (EAA, Asian Athletics Association Council, The Commonwealth, …)
• National (National federations)
• Regional/local (Narrower than national: locality, county, region, state, etc.)
