The IATI Standard succeeds two previous standardisation efforts for aid activity information: the Common Exchange Format for Development Activities [[Common exchange format for development information (CEFDA)|CEFDA]] (developed from 1991), and International Development Markup Language [[International development markup language (IDML)|IDML]] (developed from 1998) and used by [[Development Gateway]] as part of the data transfer standard in the [[AidData]] database.
