Page Comparison

Following the SEC virtual meeting 25-27 Mar 2020, we agreed to produce a simpler specification for the ‘simplified data template’ format. As part of that we need stringified data types.

...

Column content convention: each column should contain a Pattern or JSON-Type (in black), an example (in teal, or as a JSON formatted block) and optionally also comment(s) (in red).

A few questions need to be addressed with these formats:

...

An assumption made in the table is that some of the formats are not self-describing - a data instance needs to be read with a schema available. This is what would allow “5” to be read as either an Integer or a DvCount, depending on the schema at that location. If we want the data to be self-describing we would need a few more syntax differences.
