relevant to your audiences at any given time

Here are some ideas to show the elements of a website that you could power with football data and an API Service from PA.

Live Statistical information

View and compare detailed data on players and teams, updated in real time

Linked Media

Automatically collate and display rich media including images and video through the use of metadata rather than content management systems

Match day – live head to head

Team statistics

Use linked data to create powerful, data rich destinations for teams or players that could

work as standalone products on multiple platforms

Player statistics with active player (Wayne Rooney) stats and profile in more depth – updated live in-game

Immersive team stats allow fans to drill into games played during

the season within a product environment that is endlessly

linked

Slide 9

Player profiles

In-depth player stats mixed with contextual links and editorial

allow publishers to own a data-rich, real-time destination for

players that goes beyond traditional player profile pages

Competition statistics – compare performance across competitions

or use other metrics, e.g. time.

All of these elements could be powered by PA data delivered via an API, so your site is fast, accurate and updated automatically, freeing up your team to focus on creating additional content
