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.

The time between budget/period-start/@iso-date and budget/period-end/@iso-date must not be over a year

If count(@lang) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(narrative/@lang) > 0 and (count(narrative) = count(narrative/@lang)) must evaluate to true.

If count(transaction/provider-org/@ref) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(transaction/provider-org/narrative) > 0 must evaluate to true.

If count(@default-currency) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(crs-add/loan-status/@currency) > 0 must evaluate to true.

If count(@default-currency) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(fss/forecast/@currency) > 0 must evaluate to true.

If count(transaction/receiver-org/@ref) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(transaction/provider-org/narrative) > 0 must evaluate to true.

If count(other-identifier/owner-org/@ref) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(other-identifier/owner-org/narrative) > 0 must evaluate to true.

If count(sector[@vocabulary=98 or @vocabulary=99]) > 0 evaluates to true, then count(sector/narrative) > 0 must evaluate to true.

@xml-lang must exist, otherwise all lang must exist.

sector must exist, otherwise all sector must exist.

@default-currency must exist, otherwise all currency must exist.

@last-updated-datetime must not be more recent than the current date

Each expression defined in number(recipient-country/@percentage) >= 0.0 must resolve to true.

Each expression defined in number(recipient-region/@percentage) >= 0.0 must resolve to true.

Each expression defined in number(sector/@percentage) >= 0.0 must resolve to true.

Each expression defined in number(capital-spend/@percentage) >= 0.0 must resolve to true.

All elements in sector[@vocabulary != '1']/@vocabulary are evaluated under the rules inside {u'strict_sum': {u'cases': [{u'paths': [u"sector[@vocabulary = '$1']/@percentage"], u'sum': 100}]}}.

Attributes

@xml:lang

ISO 639-1 code specifying the language of text in this element. If a default language is specified in the iati-activity element it does not have to be repeated here.

This value should be on the Language codelist.

The time between budget/period-start/@iso-date and budget/period-end/@iso-date must not be over a year

If count(@default-currency) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(crs-add/loan-status/@currency) > 0 must evaluate to true.

If count(@default-currency) = 0 evaluates to true, then count(fss/forecast/@currency) > 0 must evaluate to true.

Each expression defined in number(sector/@percentage) >= 0.0 must resolve to true.

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. Example in the case of a recipient-country element:

<recipient-country code="57" vocabulary="1">
        <narrative>Kosovo (As per UNSCR 1244)<narrative>
</recipient-country>

The narrative element can be repeated for any language additional to the default language set in iati-activity, by using the @xml:lang attribute. Example not shown.

Changelog

2.01

The recipient-country element was introduced in 2.01.
