Using Business Use Cases to Understand XBRL
This blog post walks you through using the business use cases by providing a walk through of one of the business use cases.
First, an overview of the business use cases. The business use cases is a set of 33 examples of business information represented using XBRL. Here is a summary of the helpful view of this information:
- Basic list of use cases
- Another basic list in a little different format
- Visual summary of use cases
- Machine-readable list of business use cases (good for running tests)
For EACH business use case you can get the following: (I am using the last business use case, nonfinancial information, as an example)
- Index page for the business use case
- XBRL instance (Human readable)
- XBRL taxonomy used by the XBRL instance (Human readable)
- XBRL Formulas (Human readable)
- XML Infoset for Model Structure (Human readable)
- XML Infoset for Fact Table (Human readable)
- Human readable information for business use case
- ZIP file you can use to DOWNLOAD all the information above
To understand the model of the information (the fact tables), read this blog post. (multidimensional model)
If you want a more comprehensive example, use this reference implementation.
