SUMMARY:Open Athletics: Global Data Interoperability in Sports

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/fe8ffb35-a841-4ec9-aa92-e9db
 f5abc3bd/\n\nA group of sports data enthusiasts motivated by the opportuni
 ties the open data promised during the rising data revolution in the publi
 c sector launched the [Open Athletics CG](https://www.w3.org/community/ope
 ntrack/) (officially named OpenTrack CG) in 2017. This CG aimed to motivat
 e the **exchange of Athletics data** across federations\, clubs and busine
 sses. \n\nInteroperability was and **still is a challenge due to the heter
 ogeneity of governing bodies and systems** (i.e.\, lack of a central or a 
 federated system to collect results automatically at the international lev
 el). Competitions are similar worldwide (i.e.\, changing distances and uni
 ts\, throwing different objects\, and using different surfaces)\, and most
  of the information\, like the results or the competitors\, is public\, so
  global interoperability seems feasible.   \n\nWe defined a [model and voc
 abulary](https://w3c.github.io/opentrack-cg/spec/competition/)\, but simpl
 er solutions are still in use.\n\nSince the beginning\, European Athletics
  has been one of the most active interoperability advocates. Now\, World A
 thletics is also in the conversations. This session aims to present our ac
 tivities and current projects' status and bring more stakeholders and idea
 s into the group (most of the participants are from Europe\, so we would l
 ike to expand the scope).\n\nAgenda\n\n**Chairs:**\nMartin Alvarez-Espinar
