Description

Many users today search not only for traditional academic resources, but also for structured information sources such as sports statistics, match archives, historical competition records, team profiles, and event datasets.

I would like to suggest an enhancement that allows Primo VE administrators to integrate external structured sports information sources more easily into the discovery experience.

For example, websites such as:

Jogos de Hoje (https://jogosdehoje.eu.com)
365 Scores (https://365scores.org)

provide organized information about football and basketball competitions, including:

Match schedules
Team pages
Head-to-head records
Historical results
Competition archives
Sports event statistics

A modern discovery platform could benefit from supporting configurable external data connectors that allow libraries, educational institutions, and sports research centers to surface these resources directly within search results.

Potential benefits include:

Better discovery of non-traditional information resources.
Improved access to sports history and statistical data.
Enhanced support for sports journalism and sports management programs.
More flexible integration of public structured datasets.
Better user experience when searching for event-based information.

Many sports-related information portals already organize data in highly structured formats. Examples include:

https://jogosdehoje.eu.com/football
https://jogosdehoje.eu.com/en/football/palpitesJogosDeHoje
https://scoreph.com
https://pbascore.com

Supporting external discovery integrations would allow institutions to connect users with valuable informational resources beyond traditional library collections.

Thank you for considering this idea.
