Abstract: In this chapter, we focus on aspects of the development of XBRL taxonomies. In XBRL projects, taxonomy development is often a central and crucial activity. The shape of taxonomies has a major impact on the quality of later reporting. We will discuss approaches from software, knowledge and ontology development and merge them to achieve a generic XBRL taxonomy engineering approach. We will formally define taxonomy engineering and explain its importance in the following section. Finally, we will explain in detail six phases of a generic taxonomy development process model.
