Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for representing extensible business reporting language (XBRL) documents in multidimensional form. For example, a computer-implemented system may include a computer and an XBRL taxonomy document containing extensible markup language (XML) elements. The system further comprises one or more XBRL instance documents each containing XML elements and each conforming to a schema defined by the XBRL taxonomy document, an XBRL engine to parse the XBRL taxonomy document and identify members of a first dimension, and to parse the one or more XBRL instance documents to identify members for each of one or more additional dimensions, wherein each additional dimension corresponds to a respective XBRL instance document. The system may also include a modeling engine to generate a multidimensional model having a plurality of dimensions. Users can view different dimensions and members of a multidimensional XBRL data model as though XBRL data were organized as multidimensional data cubes.

Abstract: An enterprise software system is described that is capable of representing extensible business reporting language (XBRL) documents in multidimensional form. For example, the enterprise software system may include at least one XBRL document containing extensible markup language (XML) elements. The system further comprises an XBRL engine to parse the XBRL documents and extract the XML elements, and a modeling engine to generate a multidimensional model having a plurality of dimensions based on the extracted XML elements. Users can manipulate and view different dimensions and members of a multidimensional XBRL data model as if the XBRL data where organized as one or more multidimensional data cubes.
