Registering and Viewing the XBRL Taxonomy Structure

When the Disclosure Management Web application is installed, a properties file named “mappingtool.properties” is placed in the DISCMAN_INSTANCE/config folder. The DISCMAN_INSTANCE pertains to the computer where the Disclosure Management Web application is installed.

Once the taxonomies files are unzipped on the Disclosure Management server in the XbrlFile folder, they are registered and recognized by Disclosure Management and listed in the Disclosure Management Mapping Tool. (There is no DISCMAN_INSTANCE folder in a client, for example.)

Note:

You can view and edit the mappingtool.properties file using any text editor.

Note:

Non-ASCII characters are not supported by mappingtool.properties. To use non-ASCII characters, use a unicode format (for example, \u00D2).

The mappingtool.properties file contains the following properties:

Note:

# represents a placeholder for a numeric value. The above properties are case-sensitive.

Taxonomy Properties Example

This example shows how a mappingtool.properties file might be specified. Four taxonomies are registered:

  • US GAAP 2009

  • US GAAP 2008

  • Oracle Extension (that is, a custom taxonomy) to the US GAAP 2008 taxonomy)

  • IFRS 2009

The US GAAP 2009 taxonomy defines five entry points, but based on the schema below, the Disclosure Management Mapping Tool shows only two (“Banking and Saving” and “Commercial and Industrial”. The US GAAP 2008 taxonomy shows three entry points (“Banking and Saving”, “Commercial and Industrial”, and “Real Estate”:
