Open source tools: IATI GitHub

IATI is an open data standard and all internal IATI software tools are open source and available for anyone to use from IATI’s GitHub organisation account. Please note that some of these repositories are inactive and may exist only for archive purposes. There may be rare instances of code that have yet to make it into IATI’s GitHub organisation account, but it is our desire and intention for all IATI code to be there. The following are active repositories.

IATI Standard repositories:

  • IATI-Standard-SSOT: main repository used to collate and build the documentation pages for the IATI Standard. This also contains the rest of the submodules.
  • IATI-Schemas: constraints on the structure and contents of IATI XML.
  • IATI-Codelists: core codelists to the IATI Standard.
  • IATI-Rulesets: additional instructions for IATI publishers.
  • IATI-Extra-Documentation: additional guidance and documentation on the IATI Standard.
  • IATI-Codelists-NonCore: codelists used by the IATI Standard, but not subjected to the same change-control process.
  • IATI-Guidance: guidance and documentation that is not focused on IATI XML.
  • IATI-Upgrades: record of the process for and changes made to the IATI Standard over time.
