Re: new function to see a participating-org as a "publisher":

So - technically speaking, and in the spirit of d-portal reflecting back the IATI Standard, there's no formal concept (in the standard) of a "publisher". What we are in fact looking at is the reporting-org

However, also appreciate that publishing IATI data, by publishers (sometimes using Publisher!) is a well trodden, and relatable path

Options could be:

We just say "View this Participating Org as a Reporting Org", or be a bit more helpful with:
"View this Participating Org as a Publisher (Reporting Org)"
and then also on the other button!
@emmajclegg might have an insight too - given the discussion over at https://github.com/younginnovations/iatipublisher/issues/1417#issuecomment-2037667561

Thanks!

@stevieflow Do we need to use IATI terms or could we say something plainer like "View data that this organisation has published"

If vetoed, I think "View this Participating Org as a Publisher (Reporting Org)" is the clearer of the two suggestions above.

The capitilisation of Publisher does risk confusion with the IATI Publisher tool. While working on our IATI Glossary I would like us to be more consistent going forward in the use of publisher vs. Publisher !

Thanks @emmajclegg

That's a great suggestion.

Any further thoughts @IsabelBirds ?

IsabelBirds commented 6 months ago

A common confusion is that IATI publishes or alters data in some way, or that we can dictate what an individual organisation shares. So it would be good to be very clear when d-portal is showing what is reported by an organisation vs what is reported about them.

How about "View activities reported by this organisation"? Then it's echoing the language of the standard.

While we're on this, lets change "IATI Publishers" to "Reporting organisations" (channels @stevieflow "Am I an IATI Publisher?" etc etc)

IsabelBirds commented 6 months ago

And move from "View this Publisher as a Participating Org" to "View this organisation as a Participating Org"?

stevieflow commented 6 months ago

Great, thanks @IsabelBirds

So - @notshi -> please could we:

when a participating-org/@ref page has a know reporting-org/@ref: "View activities reported by this organisation"
when a reporting-org/@ref has records for participating-org/@ref: "View this organisation as a Participating Org"

I'll create a new issue for

"IATI Publishers" to "Reporting organisations"

Thanks @emmajclegg & @IsabelBirds

This change is now live - do let me know otherwise.

stevieflow commented 6 months ago

@notshi many thanks

I'm not sure the labels are exactly as https://github.com/IATI/D-Portal/issues/669#issuecomment-2039282548

I seem to see:

View this organisation as a Participating Org
View this Participating Org as an organisation

The second one doesn't make much sense ;)

If these are set by a variable, then maybe change organisation to Reporting Org, so we are fully aligned with the standard?

notshi commented 6 months ago

Apologies - missed that entirely for some reason.

when a participating-org/@ref page has a know reporting-org/@ref: "View activities reported by this organisation"

The label has now been corrected, as above.

stevieflow commented 5 months ago

Perfect, thanks @notshi
