Attributes

@code

A code from the specified vocabulary.

This attribute is required.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

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

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

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

@vocabulary

A code for the vocabulary aid-type classifications. If omitted the AidType (OECD DAC) codelist is assumed. The code must be a valid value in the AidTypeVocabulary codelist.

Each selected vocabulary should only be used once for each activity (iati-activity/default-aid-type) or transaction (iati-activity/transaction/aid-type). All activities and/or transactions should contain a code from the DAC Type of Aid Vocabulary. The above guidelines should be converted to rules at the next integer upgrade.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

This value must be on the AidTypeVocabulary codelist.

Example Usage

Example usage of aid-type of a transaction in an iati-activity.

The @code attribute declares a valid code from the specified codelist.
The @vocabulary attribute declares a valid code (1) from the AidTypeVocabulary codelist.
<aid-type code="A01" vocabulary="1" />

The aid-type element can be repeated in any iati-activity.
