XBRL
Primer and FAQ
This document provides an overview of XBRL, its advantages
and answers to frequently asked questions. Before diving
deep into topics like the difference between XML and
XBRL, or the business case around XBRL, or a detailed
technical description of the standard, start with this
document to develop a general understanding.
What
is XBRL?
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a
global standard-based method to prepare, publish, validate,
exchange, and analyze business and financial data. XBRL
data is "tagged" with associated context and meaning.
This tells computer applications how the data should
be handled; how the data relates to other tagged data;
and where each piece of data should be linked. Read
more on this exciting new standard.
The
Business Case for XBRL
This document explores the business case for XBRL in
terms that a non-technical business manager can understand.
It cuts through the hype and rhetoric often associated
with XBRL, mostly because XBRL is so technical. This
document provides solid business reasons on how XBRL
can be important to your business.
Comparing
XBRL vs. XML
One of the first questions many people ask about XBRL
is how it is different than XML? While XBRL is XML,
there are differences. This white paper explains how
the two are related in a way that is useful to both
technical people and business people who have at least
a little technical understanding of concepts like XML,
semantics, normalization, etc.
