This is a service that checks taxonomy/instances for conformance to XBRL Specification and other standards.

Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is an XML-based specification that uses accepted financial reporting standards and practices to export financial reports across all software and technologies, including the Internet. XBRL allows your company to make better-informed decisions and to leverage the capabilities of the Internet to facilitate the exchange of financial information.

The generated stylesheet will group blocks of similar XBRL data items together based on their element names. The stylesheets make use of the dotted naming style used in XBRL. This means that data items which begin with "acquisitions." will be grouped together e.g. "acquisitions.operatingProfitByBusinessDivisionBS" and "acquisitions.assetBreakdown" will be grouped together in a table.

A few months ago, SmartPros conducted an online poll of its readers asking them to rate their knowledge of XBRL. Despite the significant amount of press that the emerging technology has received in the financial world, just three percent reported a strong level of understanding. And the overwhelming majority -- 69 percent -- admitted they had no knowledge of XBRL.

XBRL -- eXtensible business reporting language -- the Internet-based computer language for business reporting, has steadily gained visibility and momentum over the past two years. While it's still regarded by many as a back-office technology best left to computer geeks who understand taxonomies, schemas, mark-up language and all that jargon, XBRL is poised to revolutionize business reporting -- and in the process, upset the delicate balance characterizing today's corporate reporting supply chain.

n many countries around the world, government agencies, financial institutions, and other bodies have begun to adopt XBRL, and XBRL is now shifting from a phase of experimentation to one of practical use.

Corporate reporting is in the spotlight today more than ever before. Until now, most of the attention to date has been focused on what information is (or is not) reported. The other side is how information is going to be delivered in the future.

XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) has been described as the universal business language, but so far, it's about as oft-spoken as Latin. In essence, XBRL brings context to numbers by tagging financial data points with information about that data, in effect standardizing it. The idea: to enable businesses to prepare, exchange, and analyze financial statements and the information they contain.

The short answer is that XBRL (short for eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is an XML-based standard for handling corporate financial information.

A new way of communicating financial data promises to make auditing more efficient, speed up the small business loan processing, make it easier for financial planners to track client investments and cut down on the work required to convert from one accounting software package to another.

The bedrock of innovation is imagination. For example, our modern day PDAs and feature-rich cell phones have Apple Computer and the ill-fated Newton to thank as the motivator for the functionality PDAs can pack into in a handheld device. Other IT innovations have been less visionary in revolutionizing the market or encouraging market acceptance. This leads me to discuss the XBRL initiative.

XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) is an XML-based standard for financial information, reporting and analysis that has been jointly developed by over 170 leading companies and organisations around the world.

Innovation is a key issue in business today. However, the most profit and efficiency are gained by improving existing processes. Processes are no longer limited to the boundaries of one organization, but can increasingly be extended to surrounding environments. The financial supply chain is an example of one such process. It has existed for years, and many steps have been taken to improve its efficiency.
