Legacy Data

This page is currently flagged for review. We are undertaking an update of the information we publish about the IATI Standard, and the content here has not yet been checked.

The legacy-data element holds an original value for an existing IATI data element.  For example, if the fictitious ACME Foundation used a different set of codes for collaboration-type, it could include the following:

<legacy-data iati-equivalent=”collaboration-type”

name=”project-type” value=”Funding”/>

The iati-equivalent attribute holds the name of the equivalent IATI element, the name attribute contains the reporting organization’s local name for the data field, and the value attribute contains the original (legacy) data value.
