Issue
Users of data should always be able to detect the hierarchical relationship between activities through inspection of the related activity element.
Proposal
Modify definition of related-activity from:
-
- “Another separately reported IATI activity that is related to this one. The ‘type’ attribute describes the type of relationship: eg. parent, child, multifunded …”
to:
-
- “Another separately reported IATI activity that is related to this one. The ‘type’ attribute describes the type of relationship: (eg. parent, child, multifunded. It is strongly recommended that linkage between activities in an hierarchical group should always be managed by use of this element with @type of 1 (parent) or 2 (child).”
