Related data
Within the IATI activity standard it is possible to express relations between iati-activity
records across different publishers / reporting-org
.
This can be described through two methods:
related-activity
- anotheriati-activity
that has relationship to the one being described.transaction
- bothprovider-activity-id
&receiver-activity-id
can be used to link funds from oneiati-activity
to another.
Considerations
When using the IATI activity standard to declare related data, the following should be considered:
- A
related-activity
can be one published by anyreporting-org

. This enables structured links to be made. - It is also recommended to include the type of relationship that is being expressed, through use of the RelatedActivityType code.
- When declaring links between different activities, it is recommended to use the
related-activity
element and associated RelatedActivityType code in all relevantiati-activities
, so that all activities are related to each other. - At the
transaction
level , it is recommended to connectiati-activity
through use of theprovider-activity-id
&receiver-activity-id
fields. Specifically: - When an Incoming Fund (code 1) is being described, use the
provider-activity-id
reference to declare the immediate source of the funds, using the relevantiati-identifier
of theiati-activity
, if published by theprovider-org
- When a Disbursement (code 3) or Commitment (code 2) is being described, use the
receiver-activity-id
reference to declare the immediate destination of the funds, using the relevantiati-identifier
of theiati-activity
, if published by thereceiver-org
