[BLOG IDEA] Write about Unofficial codelists #51

Open andylolz opened 2 years ago

andylolz commented 2 years ago

What’s the blog about?

Code for IATI maintains a number of replicated codelists that are useful in conjunction with IATI data.

The following replicated codelists are all used as part of the IATI standard:

These replicated codelists aren’t directly used as part of the standard, but are a useful accompaniment:

All of these codelists are available to view on https://codelists.codeforiati.org (in some cases in both English and French) as well as via the replicated codelists API: https://codelists.codeforiati.org/api/

Most are maintained automatically, and several of them are updated very frequently: https://github.com/codeforIATI/Unofficial-Codelists/graphs/contributors

These are used e.g. by Code for IATI Analytics, to show how codelists are used by publishers: https://analytics.codeforiati.org/codelists.html

What’s the goal of the blog?

Mostly to make technical users aware that these resources exist, since they’re potentially quite useful.
