  1. inline XBRL: is it Evolution or just a Future Herm Fischer Mark V Systems Limited April 26, 2013

  2. Topics • What’s so hard about cranking up inline? • HMRC problem • EDInet (FSA Japan) • at SEC? • What gets submitted to authority • What gets validated

  3. What is inline XBRL • Old fashioned html document • Decorated and organized by filer • Fact values marked with tags • Numbers (with transformation/scaling) • Strings etc. • Contextualizing information is hidden • Periods, Dimensions, Units, etc.

  4. inline XBRL

  5. Filing with inline XBRL

  6. HMRC Use Case

  7. Model of inline XBRL

  8. HTML supported • No Doctype in html (tricks for old IE versions) • Semi-custom html-4 (validated by xsd) • No html-5 stuff

  9. SEC Filing • Before inline XBRL • 8k/10k (1 html/text file) • Instance in XBRL (1 file) • Schema and linkbase files • After inline XBRL • 8k/10k (1 html file(s) with inline markup) • Schema and linkbase files

  10. Filer Manual Accommodations • There will be duplicate facts • Most accurate likely prevails (?) • May be other EFM issues

  11. Validations • HTML syntax (schema, not DTD) • Inline transformations and contextualizations • XML of extracted instance • XBRL 2.1, dimensions • Edgar Filer Manual • (Not by SEC: public pillory on the cloud)

  12. What gets rendered to consumer • The original source html • Has decorations, style, and ordering of filer • The extracted XBRL instance • Normalized information and appearance • Normalized ordering of information • Uniform rendering like among accessions • **both of these (my opinion)

  13. Round trip re-rendering • From inline source • Extract XBRL facts, contextualizing information • Render normalized way (e.g., SEC website)include inline in normalized HTML rendering • Should be losslessly recyclablelike a Möbiusstrip • Never get original decorationsback

  14. Changes for Japan • EDInet will use inline XBRL “document sets” • Each schedule a separate html document • Footnotes and notes in separate document at end • Needed extensions for • Date formats (emperor’s birthday-based dates) • Shared numbers (“same-as-left column”) • Fact-explanatory-fact footnote-links • Text continuation (strings split across sections)

  15. 2. Abbreviated notations - Situation in Japan A notation of “Same as left” is really often used in JP typical reporting documents, and we have similar problems as UK vendor reported. At the end of fiscal year (2012-01-31) At reporting date (2012-04-26) Number of issued shares fact=8176452 fact=“Same as left”? Prior consolidated fiscal year (2009-04-01～2010-03-31) Current consolidated fiscal year (2010-04-01～2011-03-31) fact=3 fact=“Same as left”? Number of consolidated subsidiaries

  16. Practical issues in Japan • Some consumers have XBRL-aware tools • Adequate inline support exists • Told that FSA will not send out XBRL instances • Instance semantically identical to inline • Independent software guys need support • Want open source only, no licensed software • Original prototype inline extractor not usable • So do they have to scrape from HTML? Can they?

  17. What can we learn from usage? • ? document set filings (> 1 html) • ? download extracted instances • ? available open source software • ? render from XBRL without decorations
