policy-marker¶

iati-activities/iati-activity/policy-marker

This is the reference page for the XML element policy-marker.

Definition¶

A policy or theme addressed by the activity. This element was designed for the reporting of OECD DAC CRS policy markers (columns 20-23 and 28-31 of the CRS++ reporting format) but the vocabulary attribute allows it use by other (including local) systems. This element can be repeated for each policy marker.

Rules¶

This element may occur any number of times.

Attributes¶

@vocabulary

An IATI code for the vocabulary to be used to define policy markers. If omitted then the OECD DAC vocabulary is assumed.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

This value must be on the PolicyMarkerVocabulary codelist.

@vocabulary-uri

If the vocabulary is 99 (reporting organisation), the URI where this internal vocabulary is defined.

This value must be of type xsd:anyURI.

@code

A policy marker code from the codelist specified in the vocabulary.

This attribute is required.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

This value must be on the PolicyMarker codelist, if the relevant vocabulary is used.

@significance

An OECD DAC CRS code indicating the significance of the policy marker for this activity. This attribute MUST be used for all OECD DAC CRS vocabularies.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

This value must be on the PolicySignificance codelist.

@significance must be present if @vocabulary=’1’ or not(@vocabulary)

Example Usage¶

Example policy-marker of an iati-activity.

The @vocabulary attribute declares a valid code (1) from the PolicyMarkerVocabulary codelist.
The @code attribute declares a valid code (1) from the PolicyMarker codelist.
The @significance attribute declares a valid code (3) from the PolicySignificance codelist.

<policy-marker vocabulary="1" code="2" significance="3" />

If a publisher uses a vocabulary of 99 (i.e. ‘Reporting Organisation’), then the @vocabulary-uri attribute should also be used, for example:

<policy-marker vocabulary="99" vocabulary-uri="http://example.com/vocab.html" code="A1" significance="3" />

The policy-marker element can be repeated in any iati-activity.

  <policy-marker vocabulary="1" code="2" significance="3" />
  <policy-marker vocabulary="1" code="9" significance="4" />
  <policy-marker vocabulary="99" vocabulary-uri="http://example.com/vocab.html" code="A1" significance="3" />

If a vocabulary is not on the PolicyMarkerVocabulary codelist, then the value of 99 (Reporting Organisation) should be declared.

Changelog¶

2.03¶

The definition of the @vocabulary-uri was updated.

2.02¶
