Method for encapsulating XBRL (extensible business reporting language) instance documents

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for encapsulating XBRL (extensible business reporting language) instance documents. The method includes preparing a required-to-be-encapsulated files; at least generating attribute information files, relation index files and type index files; generating encapsulation directories; storing the required-to-be-encapsulated files and the generated files in the various corresponding directories and compressing the files to obtain encapsulated files; verifying data of the encapsulated files. Each required-to-be-encapsulated file contains at least one XBRL instance document. Each encapsulation directory at least contains a root directory, an instance document directory, an attribute information directory and a relation index directory. The method has the advantages that the encapsulation directories which are of multilayer structures are generated, the various files are respectively stored in the various corresponding directories, accordingly, the XBRL instance documents and relevant information of the XBRL instance documents can be structurally encapsulated in a standardized manner, and electronic organizational structures and forms of the XBRL instance documents and the relevant information can be unified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to XBRL electronic information disclosure technology, in particular to a packaging method for XBRL instance documents. Background technique [0002] Extensible Business Reporting Language (eXtensible Business Reporting Language, XBRL) is an application based on XML in the field of business reporting. It is a technical standard currently applied to unstructured information, especially financial information processing. It was gradually established in 1998 under the advice of CPA Hoffman and others. At that time, after researching the XML technology used for electronic financial reports, Hoffman and others believed that XML could not fully meet the special needs of corporate reports, and the computer instruction list of XML must be expanded to include more explicit descriptions of corporate reports, not only Each piece of data can be identified, and it can also tell the computer what to do with it, how to connect with other tagged i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since the encapsulation method in the prior art does not provide a definite description rule for the logic between the XBRL instance document and its auxiliary information, the information discloser may not know how to use the appropriate description rule to include the XBRL instance document and its auxiliary information. Encapsulation, which brings operational difficulties to the information discloser

In addition, since different information disclosers may adopt different description rules for the logic between the XBRL instance document and its auxiliary information, if the information discloser still uses the prior art encapsulation method to encapsulate the XBRL instance document and its auxiliary information, It will bring difficulties to the subsequent decapsulation process of the encapsulated file
