I had a number of requests for XML Schemas which explained the XML Infoset files which I use to work with XBRL.  Well, here is a first cut.  Note that I have had two different versions of terminology which I was using, I am transitioning to a new third format which syncs a bunch of things together.

These are DRAFT versions of the XML Schemas (I hope to have the final version within one to two months along with RDF/OWL ontologies which explains these and some other things:

• Model structure: http://xbrlsite.com/DigitalFinancialReporting/Schemas/ModelStructure.xsd   (note that this was called the relations infoset)
• Fact table: http://xbrlsite.com/DigitalFinancialReporting/Schemas/FactTable.xsd
• Report elements: http://xbrlsite.com/DigitalFinancialReporting/Schemas/ReportElements.xsd
• Business rules: (to do)

If you want to understand this stuff more, please refer to the "Digital Financial Reporting" page of my blog.
