iati-activities/iati-activity/iati-identifier
This is the reference page for the XML element iati-identifier.
A globally unique identifier for the activity.
This MUST be prefixed with EITHER the current IATI organisation identifier for the reporting organisation (reporting-org/@ref) OR a previous identifier reported in other-identifier, and suffixed with the organisation’s own activity identifier. The prefix and the suffix should be separated by a hyphen “-“.
Once an activity has been reported to IATI its identifier MUST NOT be changed in subsequent updates.
The text in this element must be of type xsd:string.
This element must occur once and only once (within each parent element).
iati-identifier should match the regex [^\/\&\|\?]+
Example iati-identifier of an iati-activity.
Example uses a concatenation of the reporting-org identifier AA-AAA-123456789 and the internal activity identifier ABC123.
<iati-identifier>AA-AAA-123456789-ABC123</iati-identifier>
