Result - vocabulary attribute
Type of Change
allow to use vocabulary at result element level
Issue
Currently indicators can be attributed to a vocabulary, but results can not. More and more a single IATI activity record can simulataneously declare progress against different result frameworks. For instance the Corporate Result framework of the publisher, the Corporate result framework of the donor and the Donor grant agreement result framework.
Proposal
Allow the use of vocabulary attribute at result element level…
By allowing the vocabulary attribute, results are clearly recognisable as belong to one or the other framework, thus reducing result chaos.

One more thought on this subject: when you use a vocabulary at the results level, doesn’t it make the vocabulary on the indicator level superfluous.
In other words shouldn’t there be a rule stating that when you define a vocabulary on either the results level or the indicator level, but not on both levels?
Hi Herman,
I agree, if a result vocabulary is declared/defined than a vocabulary at indicator level is not so meaningful anymore.
When would one declare several indicator vocabularies, if the option of declaring result vocabularies is possible.
In my view declaring the result vocabulary implicates declaring the associated indicator references and logic…
