XBRL
• XBRL translates long form financial data both from the tables and the footnotes in financial reports, into a format that computers can read and understand.
• The initial goal of XBRL is to provide an XML-based framework that the global business information supply chain will use to create, exchange and analyse financial reporting information.

XBRL
• XBRL is a data-rich dialect of XML, the universally preferred language for transmitting information via the internet.
• It was developed specifically to communicate information between businesses and other users of financial information, such as analysts, investors and regulators.

XBRL
XML stands for eXtensible Mark-up Language. • Extensible means language that can be
extended by anyone who wants to create additional ways to use it.
• Mark-up means that XML’s primary task is to give definition to text and symbols.
• Language means that XML is a method of presenting information in understandable formats.

XBRL
• XBRL provides a common, electronic format for business reporting. It does not change what is being reported but only changes how it is reported.
• XBRL is a worldwide standard, developed by an international, non-profit-making consortium.

• Ordinary users of XBRL may be largely or totally unaware of the technical infrastructure which underpins the language. However, software companies, such as accountancy software providers, need to take account of XBRL and its features when producing their products.
• Now we will see a small example of XBRL -- intended for reading by computers, not humans. To see what it represents

Taxonomy
Taxonomy can be referred as an electronic dictionary of the reporting concepts. Taxonomy consists of all data definitions, the basic XBRL properties and the interrelationships amongst the concepts. It includes terms such as net income, EPS, cash, etc. Each term has specific attributes that help define it, including label and definition and potentially references. Taxonomies may represent hundreds or even thousands of individual business reporting concepts, mathematical and definitional relationships among them, along with text labels in multiple languages, references to authoritative literature, and information about how to display each concept to a user

Instance Document
Instance document is a business report in an electronic format created according to the rules of XBRL. It contains facts that are defined by the elements in the taxonomy it refers to, together with their values and an explanation of the context in which they are placed. XBRL Instances contain the reported data with their values and “contexts”. Instance document must be linked to at least one taxonomy, which defines the contexts, labels or references.
