Construction of XBRL Semantic Metamodel and Knowledge Base Based on Ontology

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the interoperability of XBRL format financial reporting on the semantic level, a novel XBRL financial reporting metamodel and a fact data semantic metamodel are proposed, which uses the Semantic Web technologies and Ontology theory. Then, a XBRL knowledge base is constructed based on this metamodel .Using the metamodel-based translation mechanism from XBRL to OWL / RDF, all the semantic information in XBRL taxonomy and instance documents is translated into OWL ontology and RDF instance. Finally, a knowledge base covering the semantic information of financial reporting domain is constructed.
