3. What is XBRL?
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a freely available, open and global standard which
supports information modeling, exchanging business information and the expression of semantic
meaning commonly required in business reporting.
Global Standard for digital reporting.
It connects the generation, exchange and consumption of business reports with the dynamic and
interactive world of the internet.
XBRL enhances the quality and efficiency of reports, for internal use or for external
publication, reusing business and financial information.
XBRL is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) developed by XBRL International, a non profit
consortium with over 650 companies and agencies working together.
XBRL uses related XML technologies such as XML Schema, XLink, XPath, and Namespaces.
XBRL consists of financial facts and a set of taxonomies defining dependencies of such facts.
XBRL Taxonomies are the vocabularies or dictionaries which the language uses.
XBRL has a set of standard validation rules containing formulas for validating values.
