#44 Description of Taxonomy terms :Presentation Linkbase – This linkbase associates concepts with other concepts so that the resulting relations can guide the creation of a user interface, rendering, or visualisation.Label Linkbase – This linkbase provides human readable strings for concepts. Using the label linkbase, multiple languages can be supported, as well as multiple strings within each language.Definition Linkbase – This linkbase associates concepts with other concepts using a variety of arc roles to express relations such as is-a, whole-part, etc.Calculation Linkbase – This linkbase associates concepts with other concepts so that values appearing in an instance document may be checked for consistency.Reference Linkbase – This linkbase associates concepts with citations of some body of authoritative literature.Element Declaration - A human-readable description of a reporting concept. From an XBRL technical point of view, the element Declaration is the label with the type "documentation," and there are label relationships in a label relationships file, but from a user point of view the Declaration is an unchangeable attribute of the element.
#51 A DTS is a mechanism in ·XBRL that facilitates this re-use.
#52 Tuples are facts holding multiple values. They are represented by a single XML element containing nested Items or Tuples
#53 Element: The base definition in a ·taxonomy of a single category of facts.
#67 Taxonomy:An organised group of ·XBRL definitions that together provide meaning to reporting concepts. Taxonomies are used to define accounting, financial and non-financial reporting terms in a disciplined manner.Taxonomies are often produced by a central group, for instance the jurisdictional efforts to develop the US-GAAP, IFRS, UK-GAAP or Canadian GAAP taxonomies. Taxonomies can equally be developed by a government agency or regulator to define their specific regulatory information needs. Examples include the FDIC, FSA, APRA, Danish Companies and Commerce Authority.
