Example Usage

Example usage of ‘’comment’’ for ‘’baseline’’:

  <result type="1" aggregation-status="1">
   <title>Result 1 title</title>
   <description>Result 1 description text</description>
   <indicator measure="1" ascending="1">
     <title>Indicator 1 title</title>
     <description>Indicator 1 description text</description>
     <baseline year="2012" value="10">
<comment>Baselinecommenttext</comment>
     </baseline>
     <period>
      <period-start iso-date="2013-01-01" />
       <period-end iso-date="2013-03-31" />
       <target value="10">
        <comment>Target comment text</comment> 
       </target>
       <actual value="11">
        <comment>Actual comment text</comment> 
       </actual>
     </period>
   </indicator>
  </result>

It may be appropriate to repeat the comment in other languages using xml:lang attribute. In this example, the language en has been set in the ‘’iati-activity’’ element:

  <result type="1" aggregation-status="1">
   <title>Result 1 title</title>
   <title xml:lang="fr">Result 1 titre</title>
   <description>Result 1 description text</description>
   <description xml:lang="fr">Result 1 texte de description</description>
   <indicator measure="1" ascending="1">
    <title>Indicator 1 title</title>
    <title xml:lang="fr">Indicator 1 titre</title>
    <description>Indicator 1 description text</description>
    <description xml:lang="fr">Indicator 1 texte de description</description>
    <baseline year="2012" value="10">
<comment>Baselinecommenttext</comment>
<commentxml:lang="fr">Baselinecommenttexte</comment>
    </baseline>
    <period> 
     <period-start iso-date="2013-01-01"/> 
     <period-end iso-date="2013-03-31"/>
     <target value="10">
      <comment>Target comment text</comment>
      <comment xml:lang="fr">Target comment texte</comment> 
     </target>
     <actual value="11">
      <comment>Actual comment text</comment>
      <comment xml:lang="fr">Actual comment texte</comment>     
     </actual>
    </period> 
   </indicator>
  </result>
