A LEVEL 5 financial report information is UNDERSTANDABLE by computer, global standard syntax, structured for meaning, a complete "dictionary" (a.k.a. taxonomy, schema, ontology) is provided, COMPLETE set of rules provided, COMPLETE standard high-level report model is provided. EVERY disclosure is explicitly identifiable using rules, type-subtype rules (a.k.a. wider-narrower) are provided, consistency crosschecks are provided, disclosure rules are provided, reoprting rules are provided. All the rules enable report to be proven to be a properly functioning logical system (consistent, complete, precise). Information can easily and reliably be extracted from report. A verifiable, proven, tested FRAMEWORK and METHOD are employed to prove report is a properly functioning logical system (control report quality).
BOTTOM LINE: Information is readable and even MORE LESS LIKELY to contain mathematical errors because machine readable rules are provided to VERIFY that report is mathematically correct AND consistency cross checks are provided. Information can be extracted from report without the need to ADD metadata used to extract report information. Disclosures are explicitly identifiable, proven to be mechanically correct, and required disclosures are verified to having been provided within the report.
