Resources
for Taxonomy Creation The
following is a summary of resources which are useful in the taxonomy
development process. (Note that these resources are under
development.)
Reverse Engineer the CI Taxonomy
The "goal" of the taxonomy development process is everything
which exists on the web page for Financial
Reporting for Commercial and Industrial Companies, except for a different
use. "Reverse engineering" what is on that page for your
specific use is encouraged. Take a look at that page and all of
its contents, this is what you are "shooting for".
Best Practices
As a result of creating the first taxonomy, a number of best practices
were developed an summarized. Click
here for a listing of these best practices. Note that these best
practices are summarized in the Taxonomy Creation Training Class which is
described below.
Steps in CI Taxonomy Development Process
The following is a summary of the steps used by the XBRL Domain Working
Group to develop the CI Taxonomy. Whereas these steps are not the ONLY
way to develop a taxonomy and certainly would not work in all taxonomy
development cases, they do provide clues as to how to approach developing a
taxonomy. Click here for a summary
of these steps. Note that these steps are contained in the
Taxonomy Creation Training Class described below.
Taxonomy Development Tool
The XBRL Domain Working Group developed a Microsoft Access 2000 based
taxonomy builder tool to develop the CI Taxonomy. This tool could be
useful if you want to develop a taxonomy. Please contact Charles
Hoffman if you want further information regarding this taxonomy
development tool. Click
here to download this tool.
Taxonomy Creation Training Class
XBRL Solutions, Inc., a member of the XBRL Steering Committee, has
created a training class for the development of XBRL Taxonomies. Click
hear for a copy of that training material for your personal use.
Management and Administration of
Taxonomy Development
Resources will soon be provided to help you understand how to manage and
administer a taxonomy development project.
