Within the IATI activity standard any number of links to supporting documents can be declared.
The main element for this is:
document-link - a categorized link to an external document.
The following also enable the links from the iati-activity to external resources:
activity-website - a website that provides more information about the specific iati-activity
linked data - declaring the path at which information on the specific iati-activity is available as linked-data
When using the IATI activity standard to declare documents, the following should be considered:
All document-link should be presented in the form of URLs (eg: http://example.org/exampledocument.odt)
The URL must resolve to a valid internet address that provides direct access to the document in question.
Attention should be paid by the publisher to any links that become obsolete.
The same document can be presented in different languages via separate document-link elements.
For every document presented either a title or category is expected (or both).
The title element can be repeated for different languages, regardless of the language of the actual document.
The free-text instances of title should avoid use of text in CAPITALS, where possible.
In the IATI activity standard, documents that relate to the specific iati-activity would be linked to. Organisation/agency specific documents are published via the IATI organisation standard.
For document category in the IATI activity standard, it is expected that the DocumentCategory code would be have the A prefix.
Using the format attribute helps inform what to expect from the document.
Use of the format must be accompanied by a code on the FileFormat codelist.
The activity-website should be a URL to a page or website that is specifically about the iati-activity - not generic information (eg: http://www.example.com/en/activity/ABC123).
