SportsML
I am kind of interested in applications of XML. To be sure, it was an interest in RSS which led me to write my random thoughts about things on this blog. Recently, I blogged an update about the MathML spec. I have heard of projects such as ChemML (CML) to markup molecular structure and reaction formulas, and a similar effort is in progress to markup music. Last night, I came across another effort by way of the cool Google ads on my pickup basketball site InfiniteHoops.com (shameless plug, I know and don't care) -- SportsML, which aims to provide a method to markup stats and scores from all sporting events. A SportsML feed of up to the minute pro sports stats is something which naturally would be a good fit for my particular situation and all the would-be ESPNs around the web. If those SportsML guys are reading this, no doubt the next step is a SOAP based SportsAPI for stat keeping. Perhaps in my next life I will have time to work on this.

Do you know of any Web services that offer up-to-date sports stats? I run a blog - http://nbaweblog.com - and I display the up to date NBA standings based on a Web service I created (see http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/111203-1.aspx). I'd like to be able to tap into a Web service that displays the evening's games and current scores, standings, stats, etc. - Anonymous
