Activity schema table

Section Item Definition Data Format XML Occur
iati-activities Top-level list of one or more IATI activity records. iati-activities ..
version A number indicating the IATI specification version in use. Decimal iati-activities/@version 0..1
generated-datetime A date/time stamp for when this file was generated. This
is not necessarily the last-updated date for the
individual activity records in it. Uses ISO 8601 date
format, e.g. “2010-03-12T18:45:00+01:00″. Use of this
attribute is highly recommended, to allow recipients to
know when a file has been updated. 		DateTime iati-activities/@generated-datetime 0..1
linked-data-default IATI publishers are not obliged to publish their own
Linked Data. However, if a publisher chooses to publish
linked data about their IATI activities then allowing them
to declare where this data is published would support
discovery of it, and any additional information they may
choose to publish as Linked Data alongside it. This attribute is URI path upon which an activity
identifier can be appended to get a dereferenceable URI
for any activity contained within a file. Where a publisher declares using one of these properties
that authoritative linked data is accessible for an
activity then consuming applications that are generating
Linked Data from an IATI XML file should assert an
owl:sameAs relationship to the relevant URI. 		Text iati-activities/@linked-data-default 0..1
