PROPOSED IOF EVENT INFORMATION EXCHANGE STANDARD

Proposal version 1.3 May 22, 2000 replaces previous versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 (April-May, 2000)

This version contains some changes from 1.2 requested from Finn Arildsen and Kell Soennichsen.

iofIdentity.dtd -> ELEMENT Identity
This change was introducedin version 1.2 and is now made more general so as to not lock us down to INT,NAT,LOCAL etc.  I've added Identity to Persons and Clubs.

iofCompetitor.dtd -> ELEMENT Competitor -> ATTLIST
StartNumber Changed to IMPLIED from REQUIRED as not all runners have a startNumber necessarily.

iofAddress.dtd -> ELEMENT Address -> ATTLIST Country
No longer REQUIRED

iofRaceClass.dtd -> ELEMENT RaceClass -> ATTLIST
administrationLineCode Changed to AdministrationCode for more general use.

iofControlInfo.dtd -> ELEMENT Box -> ATTLIST
hasDiagonal Changed to Y/N with N as the default.

iofControlInfo.dtd -> ELEMENT Box -> ATTLIST column
Changed to an enumeration as per the IOF columns A-F in a control description. eg. column (A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H) #REQUIRED

"There is still one problem left regarding multiday events: the start number and class of the competitor is situated in the Competitor element. That means that the competitor should use the same start number all days and run in the same class. A possible solution is to move the start number and class information from the Competitor to the Startlist and Resultlist respectively:

<!ELEMENT Competitor (Person)>
<!ATTLIST Competitor 
  Status CDATA #IMPLIED
  CourseID CDATA #IMPLIED
  ModifyDate CDATA #IMPLIED
>

<!ELEMENT Result (Competitor,((CCard,SplitTimes,Times)+ | Day+))>
<!ATTLIST Result
  EntClass CDATA #REQUIRED
  StartNumber CDATA #REQUIRED
  ModifyDate CDATA #IMPLIED
>

<!ELEMENT StartList (Starter)*>

<!ELEMENT Starter (Competitor,((CCard?,Times) | Day+))>
<!ATTLIST StartList 
  EntClass CDATA #REQUIRED
  StartNumber CDATA #REQUIRED	
  ModifyDate CDATA #IMPLIED
