In 360Giving data when we talk about currencies, countries and organisation types we ask publishers to use values from a predefined list. When we ask whether or not this grant was from an open call we expect either 'yes' or no' and nothing else. When we validate people's data, we check the values of those fields against those lists.
This error tells us that we have found something not on the list.
The lists are referenced in the 360Giving Grants Schema. See 360Giving JSON Schemas for more information.
