How can we know beforehand the number of names that can a business fact in XBRL receive on XBRL instance documents?
For example if we want to find the Revenue of companies by looking into XBRL instances for this business fact alone we can meet different names for this same fact as:
- us-gaap:Revenues
- us-gaap:SalesRevenue
- us-gaap:SalesRevenueNet
The target is to find out a finite amount of names that every business fact can receive and then for every business fact loop all these names until we fine the one that is in the instance document.
is there a lexicon if you will where it has all of these names into one file? This is a theoretical question but requires technical expertise.
And most importantly since there are many lookalike names for a business fact can a name in one XBRL instance mean one fact and on the other instance document mean another business fact?
