Definition
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 specificiati-activitylinked data - declaring the path at which information on the specific
iati-activityis available as linked-data
Considerations
When using the IATI activity standard to declare documents, the following should be considered:
All
document-linkshould 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-linkelements.For every document presented either a
titleorcategoryis expected (or both).The
titleelement can be repeated for different languages, regardless of the language of the actual document.The free-text instances of
titleshould avoid use of text in CAPITALS, where possible.In the IATI activity standard, documents that relate to the specific
iati-activitywould be linked to. Organisation/agency specific documents are published via the IATI organisation standard.For document
categoryin the IATI activity standard, it is expected that theDocumentCategorycode would be have the A prefix.Using the
formatattribute helps inform what to expect from the document.Use of the
formatmust be accompanied by a code on theFileFormatcodelist.The
activity-websiteshould be a URL to a page or website that is specifically about theiati-activity- not generic information (eg: http://www.example.com/en/activity/ABC123).
