IATI Schema

The IATI standard consists of a number of schema, the main ones being Organisation and Activity, supplemented by the Registry Record which provides a common format for the reporting of metadata to the IATI Registry.

Current Schemas

The full suite of the current IATI XML schemas, consists of the following components:

• 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-registry-record-schema.xsd -  An application-specific extension schema for importing documents into the IATI registry
• 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.
• changes.txt -  A comprehensive change log.

An overview table of the Activity Schema is also available.
