Glossary
API – Application Programming Interface: A set of programming codes that queries data, parse responses, and sends instructions between one software platform and another. APIs are used extensively in providing data services across a range of fields and contexts. CSV – Comma Separated Value: A text format that structures data through the use of the comma character. Inline XBRL – An XBRL transport format that embeds XBRL tagging directly into an XHTML document. This produces a single human-readable and machine-readable document. JSON – Javascript Object Notation: A text format that provides for the expression of complex structured data through parameter:value pairs. A number of programming languages will natively create and read JSON. Python – An interpreted, object-oriented, high-level computer programming language with dynamic semantics that does not require compilation in order to be executed. R – A computer programming language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. XBRL – Extensible Business Reporting Language: An XML-based standard for electronic communication of financial and business data that provides for both machine and human-readability. XHTML – Extensible HyperTextMarkup Language: HTML defined as an XML application, developed to make HTML more flexible in working with other data formats, with more strict error handling than HTML to ensure data integrity. XML – Extensible Markup Language: Used to describe and define data by allowing users to define their own elements (in contrast to HTML where the tags are predefined). XBRL is an XML-based standard.
