Instance documents

XBRL instance documents are electronic reports created according to the XBRL taxonomy.
An instance document contains concepts with a given value and a context in which those
concepts are used.

An instance document defines contexts such as period or measure.

For example:

<context id="I-2002">

- <entity>

<identifier

scheme="http://www.SampleCompany.com">SAMP

</identifier>

</entity>

- <period>

<instant>2002-12-31</instant>

</period>

</context>

and

<context id="I-2003">

- <entity>

<identifier

scheme="http://www.SampleCompany.com">SAMP</identi
fier>

</entity>

- <period>

<instant>2003-12-31</instant>

</period>

</context>

define two instant moments.

The unit tag defines the type of the monetary item. In our case EURO.

<unit id="U-Monetary">

<measure>iso4217:EUR</measure>

</unit>

Element’s definition in the taxonomy:

<element id="ci_ComputerEquipment" name="ComputerEquipment"
type="xbrli:monetaryItemType" substitutionGroup="xbrli:item"
xbrli:periodType="instant" nillable="true" />

The following tags define the effective use and the contexts of the concept
ComputerEquipment in the instance file.

<ci:ComputerEquipment contextRef="I-2002" unitRef="U-

Monetary">5313000</ci:ComputerEquipment>

<ci:ComputerEquipment contextRef="I-2003" unitRef="U-

Monetary">4169000</ci:ComputerEquipment>
