XBRL: Extensible Business Reporting LanguageHow to structure reporting data?


The extensibility of XBRLXBRL is extensible by design. The original authors of XBRL were aware of the complexity and diversity of reporting all over the world. As result, XBRL was designed to be a flexible language in order to suit as many use-cases as possible. In addition to the extensible nature of the language itself, taxonomies (schemas) can be extended with additional concepts and new relationships.

CWA3-2 XBRL handbook for declarersXBRL Dimensions

Multidimensional data models are known for their use in the analysis of business information. The basic elements of this model are: metrics, dimensions, domains and hypercubes. Metrics represent primary business concepts (line items, or ‘primary items’). Dimensions represent ways to break down the data, or to express characteristics (for example: “before mitigation” or “after mitigation”). Examples of dimensions include: Time, product line, clients, geography. The set of possible values within a dimension is called a domain.
