Extracting the Taxonomies

Taxonomies must be stored and registered at the computer hosting the Web application. Typically, taxonomies are downloaded in a compressed file format. When extracting a taxonomy, maintain the folder structure of the taxonomy files. In the example below, the IFRS and US_GAAP taxonomies were downloaded and extracted to the subdirectories shown below.

  To extract a taxonomy:

  1. If the taxonomy does not already exist in the Disclosure Management folder, locate the DISCMAN_INSTANCE/XbrlFiles folder.

  2. Uncompress the taxonomy files to the: DISCMAN_INSTANCE/XbrlFiles folder.

    Ensure that the folder structure is maintained.

  3. Make sure that the Disclosure Management Web application has read access to the XbrlFiles folder and its files.
