IATI Organisation
Definition
Within the IATI organisation standard. the iati-organisation
is the building block to describe organisations.
An iati-organisation
represents a distinct grouping of information that reports various facts about an organisation.
For each iati-organisation
described, the following are expected as a minium:
iati-identifier
is the unique reference for the organisation.name
- a human-readable name of the organisation.
Considerations
When using the IATI organisation standard to declare an iati-organisation, the following should be considered:
Every
iati-organisation
must use a globally uniqueiati-identifier
The
iati-identifier
should have no leading or trailing whitespace.It is recommended that no forward slashes (/) or spaces should be contained within the
iati-identifier
.- It is recommended to avoid spaces and non-ascii characters. For example:
AA-AAA-123456789
is preferable toAA-AAA 123456789
.
A default language and
default-currency
can be set for anyiati-organisation
. This can be overridden in subsequent elements.The
last-updated-datetime
date must change whenever the value of any field within the associatediati-organisation
are updated.The
name
can be repeated for different languages.The free-text instance of
name
should avoid use of text in CAPITALS, where possible.
