Tracability & IATI

More data...
More visualisations...
More visibility
More questions?
More complexity?

How the standard helps
Three ways to build links...
Maybe four..
1)Referencing Organisations
<participating-org role="Funding" type="40">DfID</participating-org> DfID
DFID
Department for International Development
UK Government Department for Int Dev
etc...
uniquely
identifies
<participating-org role="Funding" type="40" ref="GB-1">DfID</participating-org> adding the reference:
ref="GB-1""GB-1"2) Identifying Activities:
<iati-identifer>GB-1-204095</iati-identifier> adds internal ID
"204095"uniquely
identifies
"GB-1"to
"GB-1-204095"3) Coding transactions [1]
<transaction ref="20120014">
<transaction-type code="IF"/>
<provider-org>DfID</provider-org>
<value value-date="2015-06-15">1000</value>
<transaction-date iso-date="2015-06-15" />
</transaction><transaction ref="20120014">
<transaction-type code="IF"/>
<provider-org ref="GB-1">DfID</provider-org>
<value value-date="2015-06-15">1000</value>
<transaction-date iso-date="2015-06-15" />
</transaction>adding the reference:
ref="GB-1"DfID
DFID
Department for International Development
UK Government Department for Int Dev
etc...
uniquely
identifies
"GB-1"3) Coding transactions [2]
<transaction ref="20120014">
<transaction-type code="IF"/>
<provider-org ref="GB-1" provider-activity-id="GB-1-204095">DfID</provider-org>
<value value-date="2015-06-15">1000</value>

<value value-date="2015-06-15">1000</value>
<transaction-date iso-date="2015-06-15" />
</transaction>adding the activity:
provider-activity-id="GB-1-204095"uniquely

Traceability Tests
Models & Guidance
Questions to Consider
How best to discover identifiers?
Questions to Consider
Applying up or down the chain (or both?)?
Questions to Consider
When all the dots are completed - what next?
