Chapter Eleven — SGML Functions (continued)

11.20.6 XBRL Model — Loading Functions

These functions support the loading of instance and/or taxonomy information to an XBRL Model or creating a an empty model for later export. A number of functions will return an XBRL Model Object handle for use in subsequent operations.

Loading an Instance

For an instance, the normal order of operations is:

–  Load the instance and get a handle (XBRLLoadInstance)

–  Optionally add one or more instance sections (XBRLAddInstance)

–  Load the taxonomy (XBRLLoadTaxonomy)

–  Post process which links the the components and checks for structural errors (XBRLPostProcess)

Loading will add certain XML and XBRL errors to the Log Object, if provided.

Loading a Taxonomy

In some cases, the programmer may want to simply load a taxonomy or schema for reference. In this case, the normal order of operations is:

–  Load the taxonomy (XBRLLoadTaxonomy)

–  Post process which links the the components and checks for structural errors (XBRLPostProcess)

Loading will add certain XML and XBRL errors to the Log Object, if provided.

Creating Data

[currently partly available and in beta] To create either instance data and or taxonomy data, the normal order of operations is:

–  Create an XBRL Model (XBRLCreateObject)

–  Import any schemas or taxonomies that will be relied upon (XBRLImportTaxonomy)

–  Add taxonomy data using add functions:

–  Add Data Types (XBRLAddDataType)

–  Add Concepts (XBRLAddConcept)

–  Add Definitions (XBRLAddDefintion)

–  Add Calculations (XBRLAddCalculation)

–  Add Labels (XBRLAddLabel)

–  Add Presentations (XBRLAddPresentation)

–  Add References (XBRLAddReference)

–  Optionally add instance information using the instance add functions:

–  Add Contexts (XBRLAddContext)

–  Add Units (XBRLAddUnit)

–  Add Facts (XBRLAddFact)

–  Add Footnotes (XBRLAddFootnote)

–  Post process which links the the components and checks for structural errors (XBRLPostProcess)

–  Assemble instance and/or taxonomy elements by exporting XML segments
     (XBRLExportXMLSegment)

The order of assembly is import in that if, for example, a fact must reference a context, it must have been previously defined. XML Assemble requires successive calls to XBRLExportXMLSegment to retrieve the required items.
