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.

Example Usage

The narrative child element can be used to declare freetext for the participant-org element.

  <participating-org ref="BB-BBB-123456789" role="1" type="40" activity-id="BB-BBB-123456789-1234">
<narrative>NameofAgencyB</narrative>
  </participating-org>
  <participating-org ref="CC-CCC-123456789" role="2" type="10" activity-id="CC-CCC-123456789-1234">
<narrative>NameofAgencyC</narrative>
  </participating-org>	  
  <participating-org ref="AA-AAA-123456789" role="3" type="21" activity-id="AA-AAA-123456789-1234">
<narrative>NameofAgencyA</narrative>
   <narrative xml:lang="fr">Nom de l'agence A</narrative>	 	
  </participating-org>

The narrative element can be repeated for any language additional to the default language set in iati-activity, by using the @xml:lang attribute.

One example illustrated below:

  <participating-org ref="BB-BBB-123456789" role="1" type="40" activity-id="BB-BBB-123456789-1234">
   <narrative>Name of Agency B</narrative>
