Warning Type 1 - using OECD DAC region vocabulary #45

Closed rolfkleef closed 4 years ago

rolfkleef commented 4 years ago

I check IOM data and got a warning message indicating that we should be using the OECD DAC region vocabulary. I understand this is a warning and not an error but I question why this is a warning. The OECD DAC region vocabulary, as I understand it, only has countries listed which are ODA recipients which, by definition, isn't a complete list of countries or regions. We don't code to it because not all of our benefiting countries are ODA receiptents. We go straight to the UN(M49) list. ,If I have misunderstood the warning or the code list to which it refers please let me know,Reporter,: Michelle Levesque - IOM,E-mail,: ,mylevesque@iom.int

This test should be removed. There is no 'should' in the Standard saying regions's should be declared in the Standard alongside OECD DAC ones.

It only says that if no vocabulary is present 1: OECD DAC is assumed. http://reference.iatistandard.org/203/activity-standard/iati-activities/iati-activity/recipient-region/

The error has been resolved. This looks good to me @rolfkleef
