    Extensible Business Reporting Language

    Introduction :
    Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) - Extensible Business Reporting Language, is being used increasingly around the world. Many people are looking for information about where and how you can apply and use. Some companies are helping those who are unfamiliar with close XBRL, understand how to fit in with each other materials XBRL International (XII), in that it makes sense to pay attention, and what not. In particular, this section provides an overview of how working together various documents, processes, and XML content published XII. Information in this section is intended primarily for an audience of non-technical skills: managers, accountants, preparers, people out of business. It can also be useful for project managers in the field of software development, wishing that their team was informed about XBRL.

    Re: Extensible Business Reporting Language

    For those who are trying to understand which part of the structure of XBRL applies to them, is a useful three-tier structure. There are three levels of XBRL documents, consisting of:

    - The level of technical foundations,
    - The level of simulation rules used by users with the necessary skills in XBRL, as a guide to the use of XBRL for applications such as financial statements, and
    - The level of user guide, which allows end users to create XBRL documents.

    Within these levels, the documents may be intended for different audiences: either only for software developers, mostly software developers or primarily for accountants (or similar types of business users).




    Technical Basics : (Level 1)
    XBRL is a technical language for the definition and exchange of information on financial or business operations of the organization. It was created just for this purpose, using ever-increasing number of regulators and market participants and provides a very high degree of flexibility. Documentation on the technical basis of the most applicable for companies - software developers who are developing XBRL parsers, validators, or API, as well as for professional programmers who want to bypass this level, work directly with XBRL. It is also an important basis for professional developers who want to evaluate, acquire and use these types of tools. Their content is almost never affects accountants or experts responsible for reporting. The basic building block for XBRL is a specification. XBRL 2.1 specification establishes the technical rules for XBRL and is intended primarily for professional software developers who want to create tools that will directly upload or create documents XBRL. The specification is the most authoritative text on XBRL, but by nature is a complex technical document. Where there are inconsistencies between the specification and other parts of the structure of XBRL, the advantages of the specification.

    Explanation of syntax, semantics and use as set forth in the specification appear in other documents published by the XII. In order to guarantee the interaction of materials must be consistent interpretation of the XBRL specification by various software developers. The primary control of these interpretations is set BOM. Matching Suite is a set of perceived computer allegations of specific aspects of the specification, usually in the form of small examples of XBRL, which perform various "borderline" situation and check on the potential misinterpretation. The set of correspondences describes the input data and announce the required output, which should be set up software for the correct processing of these input. A set of functions (Sheet Equation 1.0) can be used to extract information from different parts of the interrelated XBRL documents that refer to each other. These features become especially valuable when the developers need to describe the business logic, mathematical formulas, etc. The module functions (subsection Specification XBRL 2.1) provides a list of functions, their definitions and examples of input and output data. Specifications Measurements 1.0 is a modular, optional addition to the specifications XBRL 2.1. It enables drafters XBRL taxonomies define and impose restrictions on the authors' copies of the information on measurements, such as segments (such as geography and operations) and scripts (for example, budgeted, the preliminary and actual). Its architecture is such that any generated documents that correspond to the specification, also in accordance with specifications and XBRL 2.1.

    Rules Modeling : (Level 2)
    At that time, as the basic concept of XBRL are mandatory, there is another level of materials - manuals, which were developed by XBRL and who help create XBRL applications. Terms of modeling provides detailed guidance on how to use XBRL, and how to simulate various types of accounting information for various software applications. Documents at this level are designed for software developers wishing to create, expand, or use taxonomy, or create or use copies. Their principles affecting accountants and accounting professionals who serve as sponsors and users of taxonomies and / or copies of documents. Following the guidelines set forth in these documents is not mandatory. Rather, their use greatly encouraged XII to improve the interaction between materials XBRL. XBRL can be used for many types of reporting, including internal reporting of performance indicators.

    However, most of XBRL reports, which are carried out to date, relate to the financial statements. Financial Reporting Taxonomies Architecture (Financial Reporting Taxonomy Architecture, FRTA) and Financial Reporting Standards instance (Financial Reporting Instance Standards, FRIS) provide guidance on the creation of taxonomies and document copies, respectively. As you can guess from their names, these guidelines are intended only for financial reporting. Like most Specification XBRL 2.1, FRTA FRIS and have their accompanying sets of compliance, which provides computerized representation of mass rules FRTA and FRIS, respectively. Links Directory Roles XBRL provides a set of standard roles, which may appear in documents XBRL. As more applications emerging role of XBRL links with a common and useful semantics. Links Directory Roles XBRL is a public, online data set, which documents those roles and their use. Directory Links roles is the mechanism through which to FRTA can be added new definitions and rules of use. Taxonomy of Global Books (formerly the General Ledger) is a completely appropriate XBRL taxonomy for the specific purposes of recording and sharing of individual transactions related to business activities. GL taxonomy enables interoperable exchange between the general ledger, sub-books and other transactions, as well as the creation of reports based on performance information, which can be obtained from these articles. It is a powerful, flexible tool for internal reporting, data consolidation and e-commerce.


    User's Manual :(Level 3)
    For many users of XBRL only materials XII, which they will use, are the materials on this third level. Their use is not mandatory, but rather it has greatly encouraged. This level is most relevant to accountants and accounting professionals who want to use XBRL tools for the creation or use of high quality electronic records.
