PCS - Philanthropy Classification System

CRS - Creditor Reporting System

duncandewhurst commented 8 years ago

Rather than extending 3rd party codelists (which could have a long lead time) we could use a more specific classification and reference where it would nest in these taxonomies.

How do we want to move this forward? Call in the coming weeks?

mikecastro commented 8 years ago

Would it be helpful to add the PCS to this sheet to help us move forward? This sheet includes OECD DAC CRS, AidData, OECD Budget Identifiers.

I've pulled out a focus on PCS into https://github.com/OpenAgFunding/development/issues/19

@mbacou would you be able to clarify the provenance of

http://www.fao.org/tc/adam/data/adam-docs/adam_fao_sector_breakdown.pdf

I understand this as a subset of the OECD DAC Purpose Codes - full list source at http://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/dacandcrscodelists.htm (note - it is difficult to track changes over time on this list as far as I know)

Who / what is "adam" - are they the publisher of this codelist? Is it altered from the source at all?

More widely, IATI use this list to inform both Sector and SectorCategory codelists - both of which are "non-embedded" status - but can only really be updated via the authoritative source (OECD DAC channels)

ADAM is FAO's program on Agricultural Development Assistance Mapping with their primary database at http://www.fao.org/tc/adam/data/index.html. This data is indexed using sector and subsector codes, which I believe are a subset of OECD DAC.

I'm referencing issue #2 here (on CGIAR agricultural technology ontology) which could be an additional or alternate way to classify agricultural activities.
