Type Members

1. trait ChildXLink extends XLinkElem

   

   XLink child element of an extended link, so an XLink arc, locator or resource.

2. trait ExtendedLink extends XLinkLink

   

   XLink extended link.

   XLink extended link. For example (child elements have been left out):

   <link:presentationLink
     xlink:type="extended" xlink:role="http://mycompany.com/myPresentationElr">
   
   </link:presentationLink>

   Or, for example (again leaving out child elements):

   <link:labelLink
     xlink:type="extended" xlink:role="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/link">
   
   </link:labelLink>

3. trait LabeledXLink extends ChildXLink

   

   XLink locator or resource.

4. trait SimpleLink extends XLinkLink

   

   XLink simple link.

   XLink simple link. For example, showing a roleRef:

   <link:roleRef xlink:type="simple"
     xlink:href="Concepts.xsd#SalesAnalysis"
     roleURI="http://mycompany.com/2017/SalesAnalysis" />

5. trait XLinkArc extends ChildXLink

   

   XLink arc.

   XLink arc. For example, showing an XLink arc in a presentation link:

   <link:presentationArc xlink:type="arc"
     xlink:arcrole="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/arcrole/parent-child"
     xlink:from="parentConcept" xlink:to="childConcept" />

   The xlink:from and xlink:to attributes point to XLink locators or resources in the same extended link with the corresponding xlink:label attributes.

6. trait XLinkElem extends AnyRef

   

   An XLink element in a taxonomy, obeying the constraints on XLink imposed by XBRL.

   An XLink element in a taxonomy, obeying the constraints on XLink imposed by XBRL. For example, an XLink arc or extended link.

   The XLink elements are backed by a yaidom BackingNodes.Elem. As a consequence, XLink child elements of an extended link know their parent element (as BackingNodes.Elem), and therefore know their ELR (extended link role).

   XLink (see https://www.w3.org/TR/xlink11/) is a somewhat low level standard on top of XML, but it is very important in an XBRL context. Many taxonomy elements are also XLink elements, especially inside linkbases.

7. trait XLinkLink extends XLinkElem

   

   Simple or extended XLink link.

8. trait XLinkLocator extends LabeledXLink

   

   XLink locator.

   XLink locator. For example:

   <link:loc xlink:type="locator"
     xlink:label="entityAxis"
     xlink:href="Axes.xsd#entityAxis" />

9. trait XLinkResource extends LabeledXLink

   

   XLink resource.

   XLink resource. For example, showing an XLink resource in a label link:

   <link:label xlink:type="resource"
     xlink:label="regionAxis_lbl" xml:lang="en"
     xlink:role="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/label">Region [Axis]</link:label>
