==Description==


XhBtRmL is a simple language designed to create templates that produce HTML representation of the content of XBRL reports. It can be used for multiple purposes as, for example, to produce a nice web page directly from the content of an XBRL report or for transforming the XBRL report into another XML document, for example; an iXBRL report or an XML-FO (for the production of PDF) etc.
The XBRL Database is a permament repository system implemented using relational databases and the most advanced technologies in order to allow the storage of document level information like XBRL reports, XBRL Taxonomies and XBRL Linkbases along with granular level information as XBRL Fact items, XBRL concept definitions, XBRL Labels, XBRL Resources, XBRL Relationships.


The idea regarding the architecture behind XhBtRmL is the same as in XSLT. There is an Infoset (Information and structure of information) and a transformation language that is able to provide access to the information that exist on the Infoset and produce an output document. The reason why XSLT is not the right solution for working with XBRL is because XSLT was designed to work with the limited infoset of XML nodes (elements, attributes, namespaces, values, ...) while the XBRL Infoset is much richer that just elements and attributes. It contains concept definitions with specific XBRL properties, labels in multiple languages, presentation, calculation and reference relationships, definition relationships with other concept definitions etc. All this information may be diseminated in multiple files composing a complex DTS. This is certainly not an efficient scenario for XSLT or the production of XSLT pages.
* The storage system allows the storage of everything that is valid XBRL 2.1
* The storage repository accepts information for any existing or new XBRL 2.1 taxonomy
* The storage system allows users to develop complex cross instance document and cross taxonomy information systems


==Testing XhBtRmL==
There is a live demo of the XBRL Database that store all the information published by the SEC here [[http://www.xbrl4.org/regulators/ExploreXBRL.html ExploreXBRL direct link]].


The best way to test XhBtRmL is creating your own templates or modifying the content of existing templates. The first thing the user needs is a testing environment in which the user can start submit a web page and see the result. This walkthrough will guide the user step by step about the following topics:

===Installation instructions of the testing environment===
Starting with version 2.6.12 of Reporting Standard S.L. tools, the XBRL Database functionality has been incorporated into XBRLizer and XBRLViewer. Also, a new software component has been created in order to access to information stored in the XBRL Database from Excel formulas.


The testing environment can be installed under the Java platform using the Tomcat Application Server or it can be installed using the .NET platform on windows.
Now, the XBRL Database can receive XBRL reports from:
 
* The XBRL Validation component (server mode) after XBRL 2.1 validation is finished with no errors.
* The XBRL Grab daemon that periodically search for new reports published (We currently support the SEC RSS feed)
* XBRLizer and XBRLViewer, using the File -> XBRL Database -> Store document into the XBRL Database.
* All the components above relays on a API component in the library for storing a DTS into the XBRL Database. That API is available from other applications to use.
 
The XBRL Database can be used from:
 
* XBRLizer, XBRLviewer and any other API component the File -> Open component has a button to open data from the XBRL Database. The XBRL Database can be used as a proxy for official documents based on the absolute document URI.
* The Excel functions that access information in XBRL reports using filters.
* Any other application trying to load information from SQL to another BI (Business Intelligence) system.
 
==User data model==
The XBRL Database API provides a mechanism to extend the XBRL data model. This allows developers using Reporting Standard XBRL API to create their own data model and tables on top of the XBRL data model and use them as any other tables in the model.

[XBRL Database]

XhBtRmL template language to produce HTML representation of XBRL reports

Description

The XBRL Database is a permament repository system implemented using relational databases and the most advanced technologies in order to allow the storage of document level information like XBRL reports, XBRL Taxonomies and XBRL Linkbases along with granular level information as XBRL Fact items, XBRL concept definitions, XBRL Labels, XBRL Resources, XBRL Relationships.

  • The storage system allows the storage of everything that is valid XBRL 2.1
  • The storage repository accepts information for any existing or new XBRL 2.1 taxonomy
  • The storage system allows users to develop complex cross instance document and cross taxonomy information systems

There is a live demo of the XBRL Database that store all the information published by the SEC here [ExploreXBRL direct link].

Starting with version 2.6.12 of Reporting Standard S.L. tools, the XBRL Database functionality has been incorporated into XBRLizer and XBRLViewer. Also, a new software component has been created in order to access to information stored in the XBRL Database from Excel formulas.

Now, the XBRL Database can receive XBRL reports from:

  • The XBRL Validation component (server mode) after XBRL 2.1 validation is finished with no errors.
  • The XBRL Grab daemon that periodically search for new reports published (We currently support the SEC RSS feed)
  • XBRLizer and XBRLViewer, using the File -> XBRL Database -> Store document into the XBRL Database.
  • All the components above relays on a API component in the library for storing a DTS into the XBRL Database. That API is available from other applications to use.

The XBRL Database can be used from:

  • XBRLizer, XBRLviewer and any other API component the File -> Open component has a button to open data from the XBRL Database. The XBRL Database can be used as a proxy for official documents based on the absolute document URI.
  • The Excel functions that access information in XBRL reports using filters.
  • Any other application trying to load information from SQL to another BI (Business Intelligence) system.

User data model

The XBRL Database API provides a mechanism to extend the XBRL data model. This allows developers using Reporting Standard XBRL API to create their own data model and tables on top of the XBRL data model and use them as any other tables in the model.

There is more information in the How to add classes to the XBRL Database model wiki page.
