2017-03-29 - Modelling Events, Activities

Summary

Brief update on standard development work to date and latest revisions to the specification
Outline next steps:
- call to action to this group and beyond to begin testing the specification using real data
- creating a primer to guide implementation
- minor update to the paging specification
Update on open issues
- Schema.org proposal for recurring events still in review
- Need to explore description of equipment at facilities and for sessions in more detail
- Need to agree process for standardising activity list
Review of planned next steps to support adoption and uptake of the standard
Discussion around approach for capturing detail on how people sign up to events
- Agreed to schedule a call in a months time on that topic
Discussion around capturing information about disability support at events
- Consensus was that we should develop a strawman proposal, e.g. mixture of free-text fields and a limited set of classifications, then share this with a more expert group
- Tentatively schedule for a call in 6 weeks time
Review of next steps for standardising activity lists
- We now have a data format
- Need to ask people to share the structured lists they have as open data
- Need to decide on process on getting alignment between lists
- This will be the focus of our next CG call on 12th April

Additional Suggestions:

Jade (EMDP), add some guidance on what detail is useful to include in event descriptions
Terry (GLL), create a "kitchen sink" example data file that can be easily cut-down/customised by developers

Actions/Requests:

Nick (SE) provide links to Active Places data/documentation on equipment
Ben (Imin) file an issue to start capturing discussion around disability support at events
Jade (EMDP) share some information on disability data capture in their new system
Nick (ODI) / Jade to review engagement & outreach docs
Leigh schedule community call to discuss how best to represent disability support
Leigh schedule community call to start capturing requirements around event availability and booking
Leigh include guidance on event descriptions in Primer
Leigh to put together roadmap for standardising activity lists, to circulate to the group.
