Build data integration infrastructure for sports federations. External system connectivity, data standards compliance, real-time feeds, analytics data lakes, and third-party ecosystem support.
A data integration layer enables federations to connect their internal systems (athlete management, competitions, scoring) with external partners (broadcasters, betting operators, media, sponsors) through standardized APIs. It ensures data consistency, supports real-time feeds, enables analytics, and allows third-party developers to build on federation data while maintaining control and monetization options.
Connecting federation systems into a unified platform:
Core integrations: - Athlete management to competition system - Competition system to scoring engine - Scoring engine to website/app - All systems to admin console - Financial systems to registration
Data flows: - Player eligibility to competition - Match results to standings - Statistics to player profiles - Events to notifications - All data to analytics
Integration patterns: - Event-driven architecture - Message queues for reliability - API-first design principles - Change data capture - Real-time synchronization
Enabling the sports data ecosystem:
Broadcast partners: - Pre-match data packages - Live match data feeds - Graphics data endpoints - Commentary assistance data - Post-match statistics
Media partners: - News feed access - Statistics endpoints - Player/team data - Fixture information - Credentialing systems
Data partners: - Low-latency scoring feeds - Historical data access - Statistical models support - Odds calculation data - Research data sets
Ensuring interoperability and compliance:
Industry standards: - IPTC SportsML for news - Common data formats (JSON, XML) - Broadcast data protocols - Betting industry standards - Statistical interchange formats
Federation standards: - International body requirements (FIFA, ICC, etc.) - National authority formats - Anti-doping data standards - Financial reporting formats - Governance reporting standards
Technical protocols: - REST APIs with OpenAPI specs - GraphQL for flexible queries - WebSocket for real-time data - Webhooks for event notification - Bulk data export formats
Low-latency distribution for live events:
Feed types: - Live score updates (sub-second latency) - Match event stream - Statistics accumulation - Commentary feed - Multimedia event markers
Delivery mechanisms: - Push-based streaming - Pull-based polling - Hybrid approaches - Guaranteed delivery options - Replay and catch-up
Quality of service: - Latency SLAs by tier - Uptime guarantees - Failover procedures - Monitoring and alerting - Partner support
Centralized data for insights and intelligence:
Data collection: - Event ingestion from all systems - Third-party data imports - Social media data - Fan engagement metrics - Commercial data
Data processing: - ETL pipelines - Real-time streaming analytics - Batch processing for reports - Data quality monitoring - Schema evolution
Analytics outputs: - Performance analytics dashboards - Commercial intelligence - Fan engagement metrics - Competitive analysis - Predictive modeling
Governing and commercializing data access:
Access control: - API key management - OAuth2 authentication - Rate limiting per tier - IP whitelisting - Geographic restrictions
Tiered access: - Free public tier (limited data) - Media tier (news, basic stats) - Commercial tier (full access) - Premium tier (low-latency, exclusive) - Enterprise tier (custom)
Monetization: - Subscription pricing - Per-call pricing - Data licensing agreements - Exclusivity premiums - Revenue share models
