12. 12 Taxonomy Structure Methodology ① Each account varies according to FSI business type © 2004 Bank of Japan The taxonomy for internal use has a structure which maps the roles of each type of maintenance engineer to enable job allotment. common taxonomy delta taxonomyTaxonomy for internal use is composed of a common taxonomy for all financial institutions and a delta taxonomy according to the business type. Definition of the concept itself is separated from the relationship between concepts Ease of maintenance is of primary consideration Applicability to other reports The methodology of separating the common and delta taxonomy is applicable, for example, to the annual business report, for changes to due date and in reporting data types. Taxonomy for internal use Reporting TaxonomyThe structure is composed of “Taxonomy for internal use” (concept itself defined with schema, label link and reference link) and “Reporting Taxonomy” (relationships between concepts defined using presentation link, calculation link and definition link).
