Taxonomy architect
A person responsible for making design decisions that are applied across a taxonomy.
Taxonomy author
A person or organisation who is responsible for defining the content of a taxonomy.
Taxonomy owner
A person or organisation who is responsible for maintaining taxonomy content and taxonomy design/structure. A taxonomy owner may also be a collector, or may be a third party such as an accounting standards body.
Taxonomy component
Anything that can be defined in a taxonomy.
Taxonomy-defined dimension
A dimension that is defined by a taxonomy, as opposed to a built-in dimension. This can be defined to provide any additional qualification needed to fully identify a fact. For example, a taxonomy-defined dimension could be used to indicate that a fact relates to a specific geographic region. A taxonomy-defined dimension may be either 'explicit', in which case the taxonomy defines a list of allowed dimension values (e.g. a list of countries), or 'typed', in which case the taxonomy defines the format for dimension values (e.g. the format for a postal code).
Taxonomy element
A subset of taxonomy components which may be included in the standard tree structures, such as the presentation tree and calculation tree. This includes concepts, header and structural element. [Technical term: 'concept definition', corresponding to an XML element declaration in the xbrli:item or xbrli:tuple substitution group]
Taxonomy entry point
A taxonomy entry point identifies a subset (or 'view') of a taxonomy. Taxonomies will often provide multiple views for different, related reporting purposes. For example, a taxonomy may cater for different industries reporting under the same accounting standard. A taxonomy entry point is identified by a unique URL (or set of URLs), and is what is referenced by an XBRL report or an extension taxonomy.
Text block
A text tag that contains narrative text. In some reporting programmes, text blocks may include markup such as tables. Where a text block is used as an alternative to more granular tagging, it is referred to as a block tag.
Text tag
A fact that contains textual information. Text tags that contain narrative text are sometimes referred to as text blocks.
Validation rules
Rules that can be applied automatically to XBRL reports in order to ensure quality and interoperability. Validation rules can be either business validation rules or filing rules.
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language)
Family of specifications used for digital business reporting.
xBRL-CSV report
A type of XBRL Report that uses the simple and efficient CSV file format. Due to its compact size, xBRL-CSV is particularly well suited to tabular reports with a large number of facts.
xBRL-JSON report
A type of XBRL Report that uses the widely-supported JSON syntax. The xBRL-JSON format is designed to be simple and easy-to-consume, and is ideal for publishing XBRL data for automated consumption and analysis.
xBRL-XML report
A type of XBRL Report that uses XML syntax. The well-established xBRL-XML format is defined by the XBRL v2.1 Specification.
XBRL formula rules
Validation rules defined in a taxonomy using the XBRL Formula specification. These are applied by XBRL processors in addition to XBRL validation [Technical term: XBRL Formula Assertion]
XBRL report
A business report prepared using the XBRL standard. An XBRL report is the file that contains the data that is to be reported in an XBRL filing programme. A report refers to a specific taxonomy entry point and it is the combination of the XBRL report and the taxonomy that enables the contents of an XBRL report to be fully understood. The XBRL standard defines a number of different formats for XBRL Reports, including Inline XBRL, xBRL-XML, xBRL-CSV and xBRL-JSON. [Technical term: Instance document]
XBRL reporting template
A tabular view of a taxonomy or report that is used for presentation or data entry purposes. XBRL reporting templates can support complex, multi-dimensional reports, such as those seen in prudential reporting, and provide a business user-friendly view of the data. XBRL reporting templates are typically used in closed reporting programmes, where a template is prescribed by the collector. [At a technical level, XBRL reporting templates are defined using the Table Linkbase specification]
XBRL validation
Rules defined by the XBRL specifications that must be adhered to by all XBRL reports and taxonomies. The rules for XBRL reports ensure a base level of document validity, for example, ensuring that any concepts used in the XBRL report are defined by the corresponding taxonomy, ensuring that monetary concepts have numeric values and currency units, and that facts use combinations of dimensions that are valid according to the dimensional structure defined in the taxonomy. Additional validation rules can be defined in a taxonomy as XBRL formula rules.
