International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) XML Schemas

IATI Support <[email protected]>

Release 2.02, 2015-12-07

This directory contains version 2.02 of the IATI XML schemas, effective 2015-12-07. More information about these schemas is available at http://iatistandard.org

This directory contains the following files:

File	Description
README.rst	This file.
CHANGES.txt	Change log.
iati-activities-schema.xsd	XML Schema for describing aid activities (e.g. projects).
iati-organisations-schema.xsd	XML schema for describing aid organisations and their budgets.
iati-common.xsd	A supplementary schema with common IATI markup. Must be in the same directory as the above.
xml.xsd	A supplementary schema that must be in the same directory as the above.
iati-registry-record-schema.xsd	An application-specific extension schema for importing documents into the IATI registry.
tests/	Unit tests for the schemas.

The tests include a series of short XML documents that should pass or fail when parsed against the schemas in this distribution. The shell scripts for running the tests rely on a Unix environment with the bash shell and the xmllint utility, but the test documents will work with any schema-aware XML parser. We will add unit tests as schema development continues.

Acknowlegements David Megginson <[email protected]> for his original work on the IATI Schemas and continued support and involvment.
