narrative¶
iati-organisations/iati-organisation/document-link/recipient-country/narrative
This is the reference page for the XML element narrative.
Definition¶
The free text name or description of the item being described. This can be repeated in multiple languages.
Rules¶
The text in this element must be of type xsd:string.
This element may occur any number of times.
Attributes¶
- @xml:lang
A code specifying the language of text in this element. It is recommended that wherever possible only codes from ISO 639-1 are used. If not present, the default language is assumed.
This value should be on the Language codelist.
Example Usage¶
The narrative child element can be used to declare freetext for the recipient-country element.
Note: Both the
recipient-region and recipient-country elements still allow both a @code and descriptive text to be specified. This is to cover the isolated cases where the organisation publishing the data may not agree with name of a country or region given by the lookup codelists IATI uses.<recipient-country code="XK">
<narrative>Kosovo (As per UNSCR 1244)<narrative>
</recipient-country>
Note: The
narrative element can be repeated for any language additional to the default language set in iati-organisation, by using the @xml:lang attribute. Example not shown.
