Proposed Measure - 3.2 Validation - PROGRESS: critical error, warning types

Please find below the proposed methodology for this measure.

DEFINITION show the changes in each publisher's validation report over time.

OBJECTIVE AND EXPLANATION 

• Data quality objective: reduce the number of critical, error and warning types.
• Show trend over time to motivate publishers to want to show improvement.

Please find below a visualisation for this proposed measure. Do note that this has been created to help participants picture what the DQI could look like. It is not final, nor part of the proposed methodology. 

Guiding questions - please refer to the question number when you respond via the comment box below!

1. What frequency should the graph show: per week, per month or other time period?

2. Should the graph show count of critical, error and warning types, or percentage change?

3. There are a set numbers of errors and warning types in the IATI Validator. As such, should this measure show the number of 'types' of errors / warnings; the occurrences of messages; or both?

• If number of types, the number of occurrences is ignored.
• If count of messages, the number of activities and occurrences is captured.

Webinar

For each discussion, the IATI Secretariat will organise a webinar to explain the proposed methodology, answer questions and further explain how to engage.
