Hello!
The Nordic Public Broadcasters have a hackday approacing http://www.nordichackday.com/ in two weeks. I would be interested in using Wikidata as a backed for an interactive competition/tournament widget if that is possible.
Do you know of any examples where Wikidata has been used to describe individual match/qualifying data and competion/tournament structure? Or do you have any thoughts if it can be done at all? And how? Describing only final positions is not enough.
I have two concrete cases in mind I would like to work with:
Eurovision Song Contest 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2016 - you can get a picture of the qualifying structure and results from the previous competition Eurovision Song Contest 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2015 - the corresponding wikidata page has some ranking and point-data attached to the participants but it is not tied to the structure of semi-finals and finals https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15215081
UEFA Euro 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2016 - you can get a picture of the qualifying structure and match data from the previous tournament UEFA Euro 2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2012 - not event the winner is described on the corresponding Wikidata page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22669
Do you think Wikidata has the needed data structures and features in place for describing this kind of data? Do you have any advice how to go about describing either ESC2015 of EUFA Euro 2012 in more detail?
Thanks for any help

Hi Petri,
This sounds like a question where you are more likely to get a useful answer on the project chat as more editors read that: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat
