Package org.xbrlapi.aspects Description

The aspects package provides some basic support of an OLAP view of XBRL data.

Package Specification

This package contains interfaces and implementations of AspectModels, Aspects and AspectValues and AspectValueTransformers.

Aspect models are a collation of aspects, each one of which provides a piece of information about an XBRL fact (eg the concept, the reporting entity, the reporting period etc.).

Aspects can be organised into heirarchies within groups (referred to as dimensions). This can be useful in working with aspects to populate rows and columns etc of tabular data arrangments. Dimensions can have any name. Dimensions are an ordered list of aspects.

Aspects have a set of aspect values. Each value can be transformed, according to the rules chosen by the aspect configuration, into a string representation.

Aspect models provide a means of getting the set of facts in the aspect model that are reported with specified values for a chosen set of aspects.

Aspect models can be customised, by using custom transformers for aspects or by designing a custom aspect model with custom aspects.
