0 Introduction
0.1 General
This CWA aims to provide an introduction to the topic of creating a conceptual model for storing multidimensional data which is received as XBRL instances that follow the rules defined by European taxonomies published by the European Banking Authority (EBA) or by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).
Disclaimer: The Multidimensional Data Model (MDM) presented in this document is intended to be a starting point for a subsequent modelling process to be adjusted and extended to specific analytical or transactional needs. It solely refers to the concepts of Data Point Model (DPM) and European XBRL Taxonomy Architecture (EXTA), which build the basis of European supervisory reporting.
The structure of the data model is based on meta classes, introduced in CWA 16744-1 and CWA 16744-4 [26]. The data model represents a relational model using Relational Online Analytical Processing (ROLAP). In this document UML data structures of a DPM are used because its comprehension will be easier. With the UML class model representing the description of the European filing rules, the present document visualises the mapping between UML meta classes and their correspondence in the form of database tables in the MDM.
This document consists of eight sections, save the bibliography. Section one explains working with a Multidimensional Data Model as a step towards working with the Relational Data Model. Section two makes a study of the architecture of XBRL, the databases and their aims, requirements and preconditions in catering for XBRL. Section three defines the conditions used for mapping from DPM to MDM. Section four is detailing point by point the mapping. Section five shows the metamodel defined by the European Banking Authority (EBA) through the FINREP (Financial Report) and COREP (Common Solvency Report) taxonomies and its mapping into MDM. Section six displays the MDM implemented in a relational database. Sections seven and eight show two implementation examples.
0.2 Objective
The objective of this sample MDM is to provide a starting point into the topic of mapping DPM and XBRL instance structures into a multidimensional database. Based on an easily comprehensible example, more complex issues are addressed that would need to be taken into account by defining an MDM for production use.
0.3 Target Audience
This document is aimed at users of European supervisory taxonomies that have the need to store reporting data based on these data definitions and to retrieve them for analytical or transactional purposes. Database experts should get detailed information about the specifics to be taken into account when modelling multidimensional database structures for storing supervisory data based on XBRL. Therefore, the audience of this document might be financial or economic institutions, agencies or universities with the intention to provide micro or macro prudential analysis on supervisory data.
0.4 Relationship to Other Work
The reader of this document is expected to be familiar with the principles of data modelling, having a thorough understanding of the concept of DPM as well as basic knowledge of XBRL. The reader is also expected to have knowledge in creating conceptual models for relational and multidimensional databases.
1 Scope
This CWA aims to provide an introduction to the topic of creating a conceptual model for storing multidimensional data which is received as XBRL instances that follow the rules defined by European taxonomies published by the European Banking Authority (EBA) or by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).
2 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions used in the mapping with Data Point Model (CWA 16744-5) are inspired by vocabulary already known from their use for describing multidimensional databases and Data Warehouses.
3 Introduction to the Multidimensional Data Model
The multidimensional database is primarily used to create OLAP (Online Analytical Process) applications and their databases using a fact table and set of dimensions. A multidimensional structure stores multidimensional data, that is to say, cubes. A cell or fact is an intersection consisting of elements that form the dimension(s) which in turn form a cube. A cell can have zero or more measures, but in this document only one measure is taken into account.
The Multidimensional Data Model (MDM) is used instead of the Relational Model, because the European architecture of economic-financial reports is relying on dimensions heavily, which makes implementation in MDM the logical choice. Moreover, the performance of queries is better in this type of database.
The goal of this document is to store the Data Point Model in a database, in an efficient, easy way.
4 Preconditions on mapping
4.1 Types of Database Management Sytems (DBMSs)
In this section some types of DBMS's are analysed that appear suitable for storing DPM and XBRL documents. Only those databases are considered where, in a previous study, it seemed possible to store the DPM and to extend XML or XBRL documents.
