Hello! I have a question. I am porting our application to support IATI v. 2.03. On the 2.03 changelog it says, that for iati-activities/iati-activity/result/indicator/period/target element, the attribute @value was made optional and rules for its use added (see: http://reference.iatistandard.org/203/activity-standard/iati-activities/iati-activity/result/indicator/period/target/). Although, in the documentation it doesn’t mention what are the possible values of this element.
In the discussion (Results – represent more than quantitative data (included 2.03)) Mike Smith says, that the @value attribute has to be a valid number. But is this official ? If so, what kind of number ? Why this number is not specified in the documentation (http://reference.iatistandard.org/203/activity-standard/iati-activities/iati-activity/result/indicator/period/target/) ? Can it include absolutely any string ?
Hope someone can help me with this and tell me what are the ‘official’ requirements.
Thank you very much Andy! I will implement the checking in our system (OIPA), but do you have any idea why such things are not in the official documentation and they’re hidden as links to issues in comments within… pull requests ??.. Do you know why there is 0 info in this in docs ?
For example for me it would make sense to add this to the documentation… https://github.com/IATI/IATI-Rulesets/issues/51#issuecomment-351986870
