The IFRS Taxonomy uses the following element reference types:
(b) example—an element of this type represents an example provided in an IFRS/AASB Standard or its accompanying materials; and
(c) common practice—an element of this type reflects common reporting practice within IFRS/AASB financial statements they not specifically mentioned in IFRS/AASB Standards or their accompanying materials, but are consistent with IFRS/AASB Standards. They have been found to be frequently disclosed across a range of companies and accounting jurisdictions.
