Method Detail

getIdentifierScheme

String getIdentifierScheme()
                           throws XBRLException

Get the entity identifier scheme.

Returns:

the entity identifier scheme URI

Throws:

XBRLException

getIdentifierValue

String getIdentifierValue()
                          throws XBRLException

Get the entity identifier

Returns:

the string corresponding to the entity from among the full set of valid entity identifiers in the nominated scheme.

Throws:

XBRLException

getSegment

Segment getSegment()
                   throws XBRLException

Get the segment of the entity

Returns:

the segment information for the entity or null if the entity does not include segment information.

Throws:

XBRLException

hasSegment

boolean hasSegment()
                   throws XBRLException

Returns:

true iff the entity has explicit segment content.

Throws:

XBRLException

getEntityResources

List<EntityResource> getEntityResources()
                                        throws XBRLException

Returns:

a list of all the entity resources with the entity scheme and value of this entity fragment. The list is empty if there are no entity resources that match the relevant criteria.

Throws:

XBRLException

getEntityLabels

List<LabelResource> getEntityLabels()
                                    throws XBRLException

Returns:

the list of labels for the entity identified by this fragment, NOT taking into account the labels for the given identifier and the labels for any equivalent identifiers.

Throws:

XBRLException

getAllEntityLabels

List<LabelResource> getAllEntityLabels()
                                       throws XBRLException

Returns:

the list of labels for the entity identified by this fragment, taking into account the labels for the given identifier and the labels for any equivalent identifiers.

Throws:

XBRLException
