There is a request from the community to add the following entry to the IATI Organisation Identifier codelist.
Code: XI-IATI-NSO
Name: Netherlands Space Office
Description: The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) is the
governmental space agency of the Netherlands. Its primary task is to
develop and execute the national space policy. NSO is the main point of
contact for national and international space affairs.
Hi Rolf,
Thanks for your feedback on this. I initially raised this with my contact at the NSO, who told me that the organisation actually isn’t part of RVO, but only share the office building. It’s an independent agency, paid by several governmental departments and so doesn’t have its own KvK number because it makes use of the financial system of the different departments.
I hope this is clear, and I can put you in touch with my contact there if you think that would be helpful.
Best,
Rory
Hi Rory!
According to the information of the government, they are a part of RVO, owned by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science… (metadata referring to article 1 of their inception)
Maybe they should get a KvK number (like RVO), or maybe they should get an id from the government.
Or maybe IATI should make it possible to use a URI like http://standaarden.overheid.nl/owms/terms/nso as organisation identifier (Tim Davies : something for the org id project?) But let’s not start an IATI-owned registry by handing out XI-IATI-NSO… delegate!
I’d be happy to talk to them if that is helpful, and pitch our services to check their data quality as well
Cheers,
~~Rolf.
XI-IATI was created as a registration agency of last resort. It has been started already for that purpose.[quote=“rolfkleef, post:4, topic:593”]

Maybe they should, but it is not for IATI to tell them they should.
Sounds like your input on Netherlands government Ids could be very useful for identify-org.net
