[Exploring the example of 4x400.]
Andy: About ‘Disciplines’. The concept is tricky, we should take care, but we can keep it.
… 'qualificationCriteria' of rounds are right as a note, but we need also a machine-processable description.
… Proposal like: qualification: {'by_position': 2, 'by_time':4}
Martin: OK, perfect. I like it. I'll implement it.
[Andy showing a real example of definition of events (ages, different days, etc.)]
A.Weir: It would be useful adding distance of legs in relays.
Martin: +1
Andy: Also, for every race (or leg): Starting point, end point would be useful.
Martin: +1
Andy: We already included round number + heat number.
A.Weir: Adding a flag ‘Final’ would be useful in rounds.
Martin: +1
Andy: Status of both event and round: "scheduled, started, finished, completed”. It’s important to have all the information up to date and inform about the ongoing competition.
[Looking example of heptathlon]

[Discussion about disciplines]
Martin: We can use discipline for a higher level.
Andy: Disciplines according to IAAF are different than EA.
Martin: Ouch! I'll draft a proposal and I'll ask Nicolas for help.
Andy: For me, a race walker is a race walker, independently of where is held the race.
… Using IAAF classification as the base.
[Andy showing a table with many events and codes and related codes (Tilastopaja and Power of 10)]
Andy: A good place to find information about models of hurdling is: Mommentum sports
… Our model has codes for events. We will publish the code in a few days.
Martin: I’ll have a look at codes and use them for the classification of events.
… I’ll continue with the model this week, also with the open issues.
Martin: We can start with communication. Blog post.
… Getting involved anyone from W3C and outside.
… Thanks for all.
