ResourceLink

RIXML 2.5 Element

Required

Creates associations between Issuer elements and specific Resource elements containing XBRL data within a RIXML document. Uses XML Schema keyref functionality to link issuers to their corresponding structured financial data resources through resource identifiers.

Usage

Used within Issuer elements when XBRL resources are included in the RIXML document. The idRef attribute must match a Resource element's resourceID attribute. The type attribute should be set to XBRL to indicate the expected data format. Enables one-to-many linking between issuers and resources.

Business Context

Critical for structured financial data integration, particularly when research includes machine-readable financial statements or filings. Enables automated processing of financial data while maintaining clear associations between issuers and their structured data representations.
