Structured CSV: Expressing XML Hierarchies in a Single Sheet
Views: 2 Structured CSV: Expressing XML Hierarchies in a Single Sheet Nobuyuki Sambuichi 2025-04-13 Structured CSV is a standards-based format derived from the xBRL-CSV specification, enabling complex hierarchical data to be recorded in a flat, tabular form. It is not a simple dump of relational tables. Instead, it uses structured conventions and a metadata-driven approach to express multi-level business documents — such as invoices or journal entries — in a single CSV sheet. 1. Based on xBRL-CSV Structured CSV follows the xBRL-CSV syntax model, where: A CSV file holds the fact data — one row per fact. A JSON metadata file defines the table structure, the dimensions and members for […]

Pool/template rules with abstract Schematron
Views: 53Comment from Mr. Oriol Bausà on 2022-02-27. There was an additional idea behind this architecture: the possibility to use different syntaxes to implement the same rules. In the EN, this was a must, as the EN shall be implemented in UBL and CII (at a certain point, there was an EDI implementation as well). So the rules are defined by business experts in natural prose. And the Schematron experts shall implement the XPath expressions to support the requirements expressed in the text rules. CEF’s GitHub EN16931 Validation artifacts v.1.3.2 is maintained by Oriol and these files have interesting characteristics by defining abstract business rule definition and schematron implementation.

PoC: e-Invoice and XBRL

It is feared that DX’s obstacles of “not allocating funds and human resources to strategic IT investment (a hindrance to DX promotion)” (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) will remain.
