report.id and dts.id

[Peter Guldberg]

Are the report.id and dts.id fields generated in the load process by XBRL US, or do they match anything that can be found in the filings on SEC Edgar?

[David Tauriello]

These are internal to the XBRL Database of Public Filings.

[Campbell Pryde]

Unfortunately there is no unique identifier to identify a set of iles that comprise a taxonomy. We assign the dts id so at least we can reference a given taxonomy consistently. The US GAAP taxonomy for 2019 has a dts as does a companies extension taxonomy.

In addition the api provides a dts hash. This is a hash of the documents comprising a dts and two identical taxonomies should have the same hash. This also is not a standard yet.
