International Aid Transparency Initiative: Organisation-Information Schema
Release 1.05, 2014-10-06
NOTE: the xml.xsd and iati-common.xsd schemas must be in the
same directory as this one.
This W3C XML Schema defines an XML document type for information
about an aid organisation, following the standard published at
http://iatistandard.org
This document type may be extended with additional elements and
attributes, but they must belong to an explicit XML namespace.
Top-level list of one or more IATI organisation records.
A number indicating the IATI specification version in use.
A date/time stamp for when this file was generated. This
is not necessarily the last-updated date for the
individual organisation records in it. Uses ISO 8601 date
format, e.g. "2010-03-12T18:45:00+01:00". Use of this
attribute is highly recommended, to allow recipients to
know when a file has been updated.
Top-level element for a single IATI organisation report.
A number indicating the IATI specification version in use.
Defaults to "1.0" if not specified. It is required to
specify this attribute if the document is using features
specific to an IATI specification other than the initial
1.0 version.
The last date/time that the data for this specific
organisation was updated. This date must change whenever
the value of any field changes.
Default ISO 4217 currency code for all financial values in
this organisation report.
The human-readable name of the organisation. This element may be
repeated to provide the name in different languages (using @xml:lang to
distinguish).
The total-budget element allows for the reporting of the organisation’s
own budget. The recommendation is that, where and when possible, the
organisation’s total annual planned budget for each of the next three
years is reported.
The starting date for the budget period, in ISO 8601
format (e.g. 2010-04-01 for 1 April 2010). This element
must be present.
The ending date for the budget period, in ISO 8601
format (e.g. 2011-03-31 for 31 March 2011). This
element must be present.
The total value of the organisation's aid budget for
this period. This element is required.
The recipient-org-budget element allows for the reporting of
forward looking budgets for each institution which receives
core funding from the reporting organisation. The
recommendation is that, where and when possible, annual
planned budgets for each recipient institution for each of the
next three financial years are reported. This is primarily
applicable to donors but any provider of core funding is
expected to use it. Earmarked budgets should be reported at
activity-level through the Activity Standard.
The organisation that will receive the funds during the
budget period (*not* the organisation reporting).
The starting date for the budget period, in ISO 8601
format (e.g. 2010-04-01 for 1 April 2010). This element
must be present.
The ending date for the budget period, in ISO 8601
format (e.g. 2011-03-31 for 31 March 2011). This
element must be present.
The total value of the money budgeted to be disbursed to
the specified recipient organisation during this time
period. This element is required.
The recipient-country-budget element allows for the reporting of
forward looking budgets for each country in which the organisation
operates. The recommendation is that, where and when possible, the
organisation’s total annual planned budget for each of the next
three financial years is reported for each recipient country.
It is strongly recommended that the start and end of the reported
financial years match those of the recipient country’s
budgetary/planning cycle.
The country that will receive the funds during the
budget period.
The starting date for the budget period, in ISO 8601
format (e.g. 2010-04-01 for 1 April 2010). This element
must be present.
The ending date for the budget period, in ISO 8601
format (e.g. 2011-03-31 for 31 March 2011). This
element must be present.
The total value of the money budgeted to be disbursed to
the specified country during this time period. This
element is required.
