SportsML is an open and highly flexible standard for the interchange of sports data. It is designed to be easy to understand and implement, and to cover a wide variety of sports competitions.
The IPTC Developer Site provides technical information.
The SportsML Users Forum is used to share experiences, raise questions and recommend and discuss changes to the SportsML standard. It also connects companies and organizations who use SportsML and vendors who create tools that process NewsML-G2 documents.
This folder contains the actual schema files with sportsml.xsd being the entry point.
This folder has 40+ real-world samples from 11 different sports and types of competitions. Several samples in different flavors of SportsML, like generic vs specific and classic vs G2-compliant.
Here are some xslt tools for transformations between versions. Please see additional information in a readme-file in the Tools folder.
For the complete XML Schema documentation in HTML format, open documentation/sportsml.html in your browser.
More information can be found in the SportsML-G2 section of the NewsML-G2 Guidelines.
