SportsML-G2 is an
XML news exchange standard of theIPTC , the International Press Telecommunications Council. It optimizes the sharing of sports statistics and information such as schedules, results, standings, team statistics and individual statistics.SportsML-G2 can contain enough data and
metadata to properly organize and describe almost any sporting event statistic. Special add-on modules are available for certain sports that are known for especially complex or rich statistics, such asbaseball andAmerican football .SportsML-G2 and its older sibling
SportsML were originally intended for business-to-business data sharing between news agencies, newspapers, sports statistics databases other news-related parties. However, both standards have found a wider audience among sports teams,fantasy sports leagues, historians and other sports data users.As part of the IPTC G2-standards family, SportsML-G2 is build around standardized building blocks of XML and metadata. These building blocks are reused in other
IPTC G2 standards, such asNewsML-G2 , so that system programmers can reuse code to handle different IPTC G2 standards.Versions 2.0 of SportsML-G2 was released in October 2008.
