Tree-oriented XBRL Taxonomies

Apply treeTaxonomy.xsl to any tree-oriented XBRL taxonomy (as specified in the XBRL Specification, 2000-7-31). The result is an XML document that makes the taxonomy's hierarchy explicit, in addition to being more concise and human-readable. This tool is provided merely as an exploration of an alternative way of specifying tree-oriented taxonomies. For more information, view the self-documenting result (treeview.xml) of applying this stylesheet to a publically-available taxonomy from XBRLSolutions.com.

• treeTaxonomy.xsl
• changeDefaults.xsl
• Sample taxonomy (from XBRLSolutions.com)
• The same sample taxonomy converted to tree view (self-documenting)

To apply these tools to your own taxonomy, use any XSLT processor (such as SAXON) with the following optional parameters:

saxon myTaxonomy.xsd treeTaxonomy.xsl [removeDots=no|yes] [defaultWeight=] [defaultType=] [defaultLanguage=] >treeview.xml

saxon treeview.xml changeDefaults.xsl [weight=] [type=] [language=] >newview.xml
