Is anybody else getting the dataset?
We could actually pool our resources as a community and come up with something interesting if we tried. Anybody interested?
The Lite data comes in CSV format and I'll be writing a parser, perhaps as as a webpage, to view the data a bit cleaner and with more relevance.
The Advanced dataset is the thing that I'm really interested in and comes in XML format. The site says this:
"This data is a time coded feed that lists all player action events within the game with a player, team, event type, minute and second for each action, together with the x/y/z co-ordinates for each event"
We could do some really interesting things with that sort of granularity, in particularly the x/y/z co-ordinates of each event as an expression of the usage of space. You need to submit a project brief to Gavin Fleig and OptaPro though beforehand and get it all checked off so that's probably a bit more distant than the Lite dataset.
Either way, this is one of those times when having a really big community can help us as we can get enough interested people together to make something that a single individual couldn't.
Anybody thinking about it?
