The early days of IATI...
The early days of IATI...
More data...
More visualisations...
More visibility
More questions?
More complexity?
Islands of data...
Bridges being built...
Information exchange...
Reality...
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>
<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 activity:
provider-activity-id="GB-1-204095"uniquely
identifies
"GB-1-204095"Identification is Key
Coding transactions
Identifying Activities
Referencing Organisations
Traceability...

Transactions

using the standard to link:
Building traceability

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?
