Abstract

Inline XBRL is a standard for embedding XBRL fragments into an HTML document. The objective is to provide documents which can be viewed in a browser while making use of XBRL tags which can be processed automatically by consuming applications. This specification defines the syntax for such documents and how the syntax maps into an XBRL instance.

1 Introduction (non-normative)

There is a clear need to publish financial and business information both in human-readable and machine-readable formats. With the growth of interest in using the [XBRL 2.1] standard to transmit information in a machine-readable format, it has become necessary to create an extension to the [XBRL 2.1] standard which will tie the machine-readable data to co-existing human-readable formats.

Inline XBRL provides a mechanism for taking financial and business information formatted in HTML, the universal language for web browsers, and adding to it hidden metadata which can be used to construct a machine-readable copy of the same information. That extracted, machine-readable, information is fully compliant with the [XBRL 2.1] standard and can be used by regulators and other consumers of financial information.

3 Structure

3.1 The Inline XBRL Document Set

The Inline XBRL Document Set is a group of one or more Inline XBRL Documents which when comprising sufficient metadata results in one or more Target Documents when transformed according to the mapping rules prescribed in this Specification.

An Inline XBRL Document is a well-formed XML document containing both Markup Elements and Inline XBRL Elements and which MAY contain certain other elements as defined herein.

Within an Inline XBRL Document, the Inline XBRL Elements are interspersed between or nested within Markup Elements, in such a way that the value of each XBRL fact may be displayed by a browser.

An Inline XBRL Element is any element defined by this Specification with a namespace name which has a value of http://www.xbrl.org/2008/inlineXBRL.

Each one of the Inline XBRL Elements in an Inline XBRL Document represents a different component of a Target Document. In general, each Inline XBRL Element takes the same content model as the matching component of the Target Document, except as set out below. The following Inline XBRL Elements are defined in this Specification:

Table 1: Inline XBRL Elements
Name
ix:denominator
ix:exclude
ix:footnote
ix:fraction
ix:header
ix:hidden
ix:nonFraction
ix:nonNumeric
ix:numerator
ix:references
ix:resources
ix:tuple

A Markup Element is an XML element which does not have its namespace name listed in Section 2.4.

The following attributes are defined in this Specification:

Table 2: Attributes
Name
arcrole
contextRef
decimals
escape
footnoteID
footnoteLinkRole
footnoteRefs
footnoteRole
format
id
name
precision
order
scale
sign
target
title
tupleID
tupleRef
unitRef

3.2 The Target Document

A Target Document is the XBRL-valid XBRL instance document represented by metadata in the Inline XBRL Document Set.

An XBRL instance document is XBRL-valid if it can be validated as described in [XBRL 2.1].

An Inline XBRL Document Set can be used to define multiple Target Documents by setting the target attributes on certain Inline XBRL Elements.

For each unique value of the {target} property on such Inline XBRL Elements there MUST exist a Target Document containing all the XBRL facts and [XLINK]-specified relationships which are required by the mapping rules prescribed in this Specification for the Inline XBRL Elements with that value of the {target} property.

3.3 Processors

3.3.1 Definitions

A Conformant Processor is a processor which transforms an Inline XBRL Document Set according to the mapping rules prescribed in this Specification.

A Validating Conformant Processor is a processor which transforms an XHTML Inline XBRL Document Set according to the mapping rules prescribed in this Specification and rejects all other input.

An XHTML Inline XBRL Document Set is an Inline XBRL Document Set that is:

  1. in conformance with the rules described herein; and

  2. composed only of Inline XBRL Documents that

    • have a root element with a local name of html and a namespace name of http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; and
    • are in conformance with the rules defined by the XHTML + iXBRL Schema.

It should never be necessary for a Conformant Processor or a Validating Conformant Processor to access the DTS of the Target Document whilst processing. Whether it does so will depend upon the design of the processor.

3.3.2 Processing dependencies

The processing of Inline XBRL Documents depends on [XML], [XML Names] and [XML Base].

3.4 The schema

The normative copy of the XHTML + iXBRL Schema is defined in [Inline XBRL Schema].

For convenience, a non-normative version can be obtained at http://www.xbrl.org/2008/inlineXBRL/xhtml-inlinexbrl-1_0.xsd.

4 The exclude element

4.1 Definition

The ix:exclude element is used to encapsulate data that is to be excluded from the processing of ix:footnote or ix:nonNumeric elements, and has the following properties:

Table 3: XML representation summary: ix:exclude element information item
<ix:exclude >

  Content: ( any element | any text node )*

</ix:exclude>

The purpose of the ix:exclude element is to prevent text content from being included in the {footnote value} property of ix:footnote or the {value} property of ix:nonNumeric. It has no other use.

4.1.1 Constraints on ix:exclude

The ix:exclude element MUST be a descendant of either an ix:footnote or an ix:nonNumeric element or both.

5 The footnote element

5.1 Definition

The ix:footnote element represents the link:footnote element, and has the following properties:

Table 4: XML representation summary: ix:footnote element information item
<ix:footnote

  any attribute with a namespace name which has the value http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace

  arcrole = anyURI

  footnoteID = ID

  footnoteLinkRole = anyURI

  footnoteRole = anyURI

  id = NCName

  title = string >

  Content: ( any element | any text node ) +

</ix:footnote>
Property Representation
{arcrole} The actual value of the arcrole attribute or, if absent, http://www.xbrl.org/2003/arcrole/fact-footnote.
{footnote id} The actual value of the footnoteID attribute.
{footnote link role} The actual value of the footnoteLinkRole attribute or, if absent, http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/link.
{footnote role} The actual value of the footnoteRole attribute or, if absent, http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/footnote.
{id} The actual value of the id attribute.
{relevant content} The content of the ix:footnote element, excluding all nodes which are descendants of a descendant ix:exclude element and replacing any descendant Inline XBRL Element with its own child nodes.
{footnote value} The {relevant content} property, resolving the actual value of any relative URIs as defined in section 12.4.1 of [HTML].
{other attributes} The set of attributes which have a namespace.
{other attribute value} For a given attribute in the {other attributes} property, the actual value of that attribute.
{title} The actual value of the title attribute.

The lack of restriction on the child nodes of ix:footnote allows Inline XBRL Elements to be nested. This can be used, for instance, to allow a number embedded in a paragraph of text to appear in the Target Document both as part of a footnote and, separately, as a numeric item.

The ix:exclude element can be used to exclude arbitrary data from the {footnote value} property of ix:footnote. This allows, for instance, page header information to be excluded from a paragraph which crosses page breaks. The ix:exclude tag does not preclude its own descendant elements from being processed elsewhere.

5.1.1 Constraints on ix:footnote

The ix:footnote element MUST have a footnoteID attribute.

5.1.2 Validation rules

For each ix:footnote element in the Inline XBRL Document Set there MUST NOT be any other ix:footnote element with the same {footnote id} property.

If the id attribute is present, the {id} property MUST NOT match the {id} property of any other element in the Inline XBRL Document Set.

The ix:footnote element MUST have an xml:lang attribute in scope.

5.2 Mapping

For each element N in the {footnotes} property of a given Inline XBRL Element F, there MUST exist in the Target Document identified by the {target} property of F a footnote resource n with relationship r from the XBRL fact f which satisfies the applicable mapping rules defined by this Specification for F, where the relationship r is defined by a link:footnoteArc element (with xlink:arcrole attribute equal to the {arcrole} property of N) within an xlink:footnoteLink element (with xlink:role attribute equal to the {footnote link role} property of N), such that:

  1. for each of the attributes in the {other attributes} property, n shall have a matching attribute with a value equal to the {other attribute value} property;
  2. the content of n is equal to the {footnote value} property of N;
  3. the id attribute of n is equal to the value of the {id} property of N, unless that value is absent;
  4. the value l of xml:lang in scope for n shall be equal to the value L of xml:lang in scope for N;
  5. the xlink:role attribute of n is equal to the {footnote role} property of N; and
  6. the xlink:title attribute of n is equal to the {title} property of N.

{target} The Target Document identified by the actual value of the target attribute or, if absent, the default Target Document.
{tuple order} The actual value of the order attribute.
{unit definition} The xbrli:unit element in the Inline XBRL Document Set for which the actual value of the id attribute is equal to the {unit reference} property.
{unit reference} The actual value of the unitRef attribute.
{value} The text content of the ix:nonFraction element.

It is common to include formatting in displayed numbers, such as group separators, which would not be valid in the Target Document. Inline XBRL uses Transformation Rules to transform such items into values that will be valid in the Target Document.

The ix:nonFraction element will either satisfy the validation rules for a given Transformation Rule or it will, in its un-transformed state, be capable of validation against the DTS for the Target Document. Both these conditions are covered by the requirement that the Target Document be XBRL-valid.

The display of numeric non-fractions in the Inline XBRL Document will often differ from the form in which those items are incorporated into the XBRL Instance. In financial statements, this is commonly done to allow numbers to be scaled and presented to the reader in thousands, millions or billions. Similarly, a percentage which might be displayed as an integer will often be incorporated into the XBRL Instance as a decimal.

Inline XBRL provides a transformation mechanism that allows this treatment to be preserved in the Inline XBRL Document.

Where the scale of the displayed value in the Inline XBRL Document is different to that used in the XBRL Instance, the ix:nonFraction element is given an scale attribute to indicate the required scaling value. For instance, if the Inline XBRL Document displays a value in units of thousands, it will be necessary to multiply the value of the ix:nonFraction by 1,000 to determine the correct value to be included in the XBRL Instance, and the scale attribute is used to establish this.

The value of the scale attribute shall be the appropriate scale factor (for instance, 1,000 in the previous example) expressed as an exponent of ten. Thus, if it is necessary to multiply the tagged value by 1,000 to determine the correct value to be included in the XBRL Instance, the value of the scale attribute shall be 3.

Negative values are indicated by including a sign attribute.

9.1.1 Constraints on ix:nonFraction

The ix:nonFraction element MUST have name, contextRef and unitRef attributes.

The ix:nonFraction element MUST have exactly one of: a decimals attribute; or a precision attribute; or have an xsi:nil attribute with the value true.

The ix:nonFraction element MUST NOT have any attributes with a namespace name which has a value of http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance.

The sign attribute, if present, MUST have the value "-".

9.1.2 Validation rules

There MUST exist an xbrli:context element in the Inline XBRL Document Set for which the actual value of the id attribute is equal to the {context reference} property.

There MUST exist an xbrli:unit element in the Inline XBRL Document Set for which the actual value of the id attribute is equal to the {unit reference} property.

If the format attribute is present, the {value} property MUST be valid in accordance with the {format input type} property.

If the id attribute is present, the {id} property MUST NOT match the {id} property of any other element in the Inline XBRL Document Set.

For each token in the {footnote references} property there MUST exist an ix:footnote element in the Inline XBRL Document Set with a {footnote id} property which has a matching value.

9.2 Mapping

For each ix:nonFraction element, there MUST exist in the Target Document identified by the {target} property an element which has the following XML properties:

9.2.1 Element type

The element type MUST be equal to the {concept name} property.

9.2.2 Attributes

The element MUST have attributes with the following properties:

contextRef The value of the contextRef attribute is equal to the value of the id attribute of an xbrli:context element in the Target Document which is s-equal to the {context definition} property.
decimals The value of the decimals attribute MUST be equal to the value of the {decimals} property, unless that value is absent, when the attribute MUST NOT be present.
id The value of the id attribute MUST be equal to the value of the {id} property, unless that value is absent.
precision The value of the precision attribute MUST be equal to the value of the {precision} property, unless that value is absent, when the attribute MUST NOT be present.

{other attributes} For each of the attributes in the {other attributes} property, the value is equal to the {other attribute value} property.

9.2.3 Children

The element MUST have children with the following properties unless it has an xsi:nil attribute with the value true:

text content The text content is equal to the result of applying the {format transformation} property (if present) to the {value} property, multiplying by the {scale} property, if present, and changing the sign of the result if the {sign} property is true.

10 The nonNumeric element

10.1 Definition

The ix:nonNumeric element denotes an XBRL non-numeric item which has the following properties:

Table 11: XML representation summary: ix:nonNumeric element information item
<ix:nonNumeric

   any attribute with a namespace name which has a value other than http://www.xbrl.org/2008/inlineXBRL

  contextRef = NCName

  escape = boolean

  footnoteRefs = List of NCName values

  format = QName

  id = NCName

  name = QName

  order = decimal

  target = NCName

  tupleRef = NCName

>

  Content: ( any element | any text node ) *

</ix:nonNumeric>
Property Representation
{concept name} The actual value of the name attribute.
{context definition} The xbrli:context element in the Inline XBRL Document Set for which the actual value of the id attribute is equal to the {context reference} property.
{context reference} The actual value of the contextRef attribute.
{footnote references} The set of space-separated references contained in the actual value of the footnoteRefs attribute.
{footnotes} The set of ix:footnote elements in the Inline XBRL Document Set for which the {footnote id} property matches the {footnote references} property.
{format} The expanded name implied by the value of the format attribute.
{format transformation} The Transformation Rule for which the expanded name implied by the value of the name attribute on its signature element matches the {format} property.
{format input type} The actual value of the type attribute of the input element defined in the {format transformation} property.
{id} The actual value of the id attribute.
{other attributes} The set of attributes with a namespace name which has a value other than http://www.xbrl.org/2008/inlineXBRL.
{other attribute value} For a given attribute in the {other attributes} property, the actual value of that attribute.
{tuple reference} The actual value of the tupleRef attribute.
{target} The Target Document identified by the actual value of the target attribute or, if absent, the default Target Document.
{tuple order} The actual value of the order attribute.
{relevant content} The content of the ix:nonNumeric element, excluding all nodes which are descendants of a descendant ix:exclude element and replacing any descendant Inline XBRL Element with its own child nodes.
{value} If the escape attribute is true then the escaped representation (having first resolved the actual value of any relative URIs as defined in section 12.4.1 of [HTML]), otherwise the concatenation in document order of all descendant text nodes, of the {relevant content} property.

Certain XBRL items, such as those of type xbrli:booleanItemType, xbrli:dateTimeItemType and xbrli:timeItemType (amongst others) have content constraints which may not be met when displayed in the Inline XBRL Document. Inline XBRL uses Transformation Rules to transform the items as displayed into values that will be valid in the Target Document.

The ix:nonNumeric element will either satisfy the validation rules for a given Transformation Rule or it will, in its un-transformed state, be capable of validation against the DTS for the Target Document. Both these conditions are covered by the requirement that the Target Document be XBRL-valid.

The lack of restriction on the child nodes of ix:nonNumeric allows Inline XBRL Elements to be nested. This can be used, for instance, to allow a number embedded in a paragraph of text to appear in the Target Document both as a non-numeric item and, separately, as a numeric item.

The ix:exclude element can be used to exclude arbitrary data from the {value} property of ix:nonNumeric. This allows, for instance, page header information to be excluded from a paragraph which crosses page breaks. The ix:exclude tag does not preclude its own descendant elements from being processed elsewhere.

10.1.1 Constraints on ix:nonNumeric

The ix:nonNumeric element MUST have name and contextRef attributes.

The ix:nonNumeric element MUST NOT have any attributes with a namespace name which has a value of http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance.

There MUST exist an xbrli:context element in the Inline XBRL Document Set for which the actual value of the id attribute is equal to the {context reference} property.

If the format attribute is present, the {value} property MUST be valid in accordance with the {format input type} property.

If the format attribute is present, the {format} property MUST match the expanded name implied by the value of the name attribute of a signature element in the relevant Transformation Rules Registry.

If the id attribute is present, the {id} property MUST NOT match the {id} property of any other element in the Inline XBRL Document Set.

For each token in the {footnote references} property there MUST exist an ix:footnote element in the Inline XBRL Document Set with a {footnote id} property which has a matching value.

10.2 Mapping

For each ix:nonNumeric element, there MUST exist in the Target Document identified by the {target} property an element which has the following XML properties:

10.2.1 Element type

The element type MUST be equal to the {concept name} property.

10.2.2 Attributes

The element MUST have attributes with the following properties:

contextRef The value of the contextRef attribute MUST be equal to the value of the id attribute of an xbrli:context element in the Target Document which is s-equal to the {context definition} property.
id The value of the id attribute MUST be equal to the value of the {id} property, unless that value is absent.
{other attributes} For each of the attributes in the {other attributes} property, the value is equal to the {other attribute value} property.

10.2.3 Children

The element MUST have children with the following properties unless it has an xsi:nil attribute with the value true:

13 The tuple element

13.1 Definition

The ix:tuple element denotes an XBRL tuple which has the following properties:

Table 14: XML representation summary: ix:tuple element information item
<ix:tuple

  any attribute with a namespace name which has a value other than http://www.xbrl.org/2008/inlineXBRL

  footnoteRefs = List of NCName values

{tuple content} The set of Inline XBRL Elements in the {apparent content} property, such that each element has a unique {tuple order} property.

The display of tuples in the Inline XBRL Document will often differ from the form in which they are structured within the XBRL Instance. Inline XBRL has mechanisms to provide for both the correct ordering of tuple content and for the association of tuples with their children where cross-nesting or the need to prevent the display of particular children would make this otherwise difficult to achieve.

Where the requirements of the display model do not allow what would normally be the children of the tuple to be nested within that tuple, an tupleID attribute is used to associate a tuple with its children.

The ordering of children in the Target Document is enforced through the {tuple order} property.

The following examples illustrate ordering and cross-nesting of tuples:

Example 3: Ordering of tuples

Inline XBRL markup, showing tuples displayed out of order.

<ix:tuple name="ae:DepreciationRate">

Inline XBRL supports Inline XBRL Documents which include duplicate XBRL facts. Because this may result in invalid Target Documents it is necessary to remove duplicate elements where these occur in the {tuple content} property.

A corresponding validation rule requires that such duplicate elements be semantically identical. Because this Specification does not require the use of the DTS, the Validating Conformant Processor enforces a potentially more restrictive literal equality by comparing the Whitespace Normalized Values. The Whitespace Normalized Value of an element is the normalized value as defined in [XML Schema Structures] of that element and its attributes and determined as though the value of the whiteSpace facet were collapse.

13.1.1 Constraints on ix:tuple

The ix:tuple element MUST have a name attribute.

The ix:tuple element MUST have one or more ix:fraction, ix:nonFraction, ix:nonNumeric or ix:tuple descendants or have a tupleID attribute, unless it has an xsi:nil attribute with the value true.

The ix:tuple element MUST NOT have any attributes with a namespace name which has a value of http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance.

The {target} property of the ix:tuple element MUST be equal to the {target} property of all elements in the {tuple content} property.

13.1.2 Validation rules

All elements MUST have an order attribute if and only if they are members of the {tuple content} property.

Each element in the {tuple content} property with the same {tuple order} property MUST have the same Whitespace Normalized Value.

For each ix:tuple element in the Inline XBRL Document Set there MUST NOT be any other ix:tuple element with the same {tuple id} property.

For each token in the {footnote references} property there MUST exist an ix:footnote element in the Inline XBRL Document Set with a {footnote id} property which has a matching value.

If the id attribute is present, the {id} property MUST NOT match the {id} property of any other element in the Inline XBRL Document Set.

If the ix:tuple element does not have an xsi:nil attribute with the value true then there MUST be at least one element in the {tuple content} property.

If the ix:tuple element has an xsi:nil attribute with the value true then there MUST be no elements in the {tuple content} property.

The ix:tuple element MUST NOT directly or recursively form part of the {tuple content} property of any ix:tuple element in the {tuple content} property.

There MUST exist an ix:tuple element in the Inline XBRL Document Set with a {tuple id} property which has a value matching the {tuple reference} property.

13.2 Mapping

For each ix:tuple element, there MUST exist in the Target Document identified by the {target} property an element which has the following XML properties:

13.2.1 Element type

The element type MUST be equal to the {concept name} property.

13.2.2 Attributes

The element MUST have attributes with the following properties:

id The value of the id attribute MUST be equal to the value of the {id} property, unless that value is absent.
{other attributes} For each of the attributes in the {other attributes} property, the value is equal to the {other attribute value} property.

13.2.3 Children

The element MUST have children with the following properties unless it has an xsi:nil attribute with the value true:

child elements The child elements are the {tuple content} property, ordered in accordance with the {tuple order} property.

14 Transformations

14.1 Transformation Rules

A Transformation Rule is a set of instructions which when applied to the schema normalized value of a given type outputs a value in a format which when included in the Target Document will be XBRL-valid.

The set of Transformation Rules is defined in one or more Transformation Rules Registries, one of which is the Specified Registry.

14.1.1 Constraints on Transformation Rules

A Transformation Rule MUST NOT output a negative numeric value.

A Transformation Rule MUST NOT output a scaled numeric value.

The type identified by the value of the type attribute of the input element defined in a Transformation Rule MUST NOT allow negative numeric values in its value space.

14.2 The Transformation Rules Registry

The Transformation Rules Registry is a registry operated in accordance with [REGISTRY].

A Transformation Rules Registry, together with any errata corrections thereto, is identified by a namespace name which MUST incorporate the date that the Transformation Rules Registry was accorded Recommendation status.

Subsequent versions of the same Transformation Rules Registry are identified by a namespace name which MUST differ from other versions only by the incorporated Recommendation date.

14.2.1 Constraints on Transformation Rules Registries

Each Transformation Rule is defined as a function in accordance with [XBRL Function Definitions].

Transformation Rules identified by a given local name in different versions of a given Transformation Rules Registry MUST have the same functionality.

New Transformation RulesMUST NOT be added to a Transformation Rules Registry as errata corrections.

Transformation Rules defined in a given Transformation Rules Registry SHOULD be available in all subsequent versions of that registry unless deprecated.

14.3 The Specified Registry

The Specified Registry is the Transformation Rules Registry with a namespace name which has the value http://www.xbrl.org/inlineXBRL/transformation/2010-04-20.

The normative copy of the Specified Registry is defined in [Inline XBRL Transformations].

The following non-normative list summarises the Transformation Rules defined in the Specified Registry:
