Implementing XBRL Successfully by Mandate and Voluntarily
Initial skepticism regarding the utility of XBRL
(eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is over,
and the time for implementation is here. As one of a
family of XML languages, XBRL is becoming a
standard means of electronically communicating
information among businesses, banks, and
regulators. XBRL is being developed by an
international nonprofit consortium
of approximately 450 major companies,
organizations, and government agencies.

Towards the global adoption of XBRL using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
XBRL is a language based on XML for the electronic communication of business information.
It is designed to improve the exchange, aggregation and analysis of corporate data requiring disclosure, through a unique tagging structure that provides interoperability.
But, the proliferation of a multitude of XBRL taxonomies, based on different accounting principles, can risk the objectives of standardization,
comparability and re-usability of the information that is sought with XBRL. It is therefore essential to develop global accounting standards as a unique foundation on which
the XBRL taxonomies can be established, so that it becomes possible to compare the financial information originating from various countries.
Along these lines, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS-GP) taxonomy was created to establish a common ground for international firms and create a platform
that would enhance the benefits of XBRL. This paper examines whether the IFRS-GP taxonomy, at its current state, adequately covers European companies'
dissemination practices and strengthens the benefits of XBRL. Our results provide implications for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the IFRS-GP taxonomy and
shed light on directions that may lead to the improvement of this taxonomy.

A Semantic Based Collaborative System for the Interoperability of XBRL Accounting Information
The annual accounts and other financial information of big companies is being worldwide standardized.
The open standard that allows this standardization is XBRL, an XML vocabulary for exchanging financial information.
In return for this initiative, the existence of different accounting standards in each country makes necessary to define specific XBRL taxonomies for each kind of
accounting report, making the extraction of homogeneous information from different taxonomies difficult. This project seeks to incorporate a new level of abstraction
through OWL ontologies, allowing the users of accounting reports to compare and exchange financial reports drawn up according to different standards.
In addition, we propose a collaborative web environment through which experts in the Accounting domain will update the knowledge base of the system.

Metadata language for online identification: an XBRL international project
This paper sets out to describe how the XBRL-GDI project (eXtensible Business Reporting Language - General Data of Identification), has responded to a need for the online identification of persons and entities of all types, in a pre-existing environment characterised by the heterogeneity of systems and channels of communication. The democratic structure of the GDI Working Group, together with the intensive use of technological means of communication between members, has enabled the project to be successfully completed. The increasing utilisation of XBRL in various administrative and business fields, including at high levels, serves as an endorsement of the XBRL-GDI project.

XBRL: Overcoming the Skepticism of Global Regulators
According to XBRL International, XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a technology that supports the representation, use, and transmission of business information from companies to their different regulatory bodies and to end users of these data. This process has implications for information professionals and the companies that supply them with corporate financial data. The so-called markup or metadata languages have generated great interest among academicians and practitioners involved with online information exchange systems. In a business environment, users who are going to exchange information meet and define a taxonomy. The technical advantages of XBRL have been well-received by organizations that until now have been managing their business information by more rudimentary methods. Due to these efforts, and despite initials skepticism, many XBRL projects have been conducted with success. As many projects properly end, the next step is to start working in new reporting frameworks.

Sub-Optimality of Income Statement-Based Methods for Measuring Operational Risk under Basel II:
The New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II) was created with the intention of establishing a framework in which financial entities can manage their risks in a more detailed
and efficient way. Within this general reform movement, Operational Risk emerges as a fundamental variable. OR can be managed by three alternative methods: the Basic
Indicator Approach, Standard Approach and Advanced Measurement Approach. The choice of which method to adopt has become of supreme interest for senior banking managers.
This study analyzes the exactitude of the underlying implicit hypotheses that support each method, distinguishing between income statement based methods and the management
accounting based method. In the present study the non-optimum character of the two Income Statement-based methods is empirically confirmed, in the light of the data provided
by Spanish financial entities.

Analysis of XBRL documents representing financial statements using Semantic Web Technologies
This paper presents an approach to analyze XBRL documents using
semantic web technologies. The system takes an XBRL document and converts
its information into RDF files. The obtained files are merged with an OWL
ontology describing financial information domain. The system enables the
formulation of SPARQL queries over the generated data which facilitate the
analysis of the financial information. Currently the system has been applied to
the XBRL reports generated by the Spanish Securities Commission.

Overview of XBRL technologies for decision making in Accounting Information Systems
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a language for the electronic communication of business
and financial data based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language). Compared with paper based or other previous
adhoc EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) technologies, XBRL provides major benefits in the preparation,
analysis and communication of business information. Those benefits include cost savings, greater efficiency,
accuracy and reliability to all activities involved in supplying or using financial data. This paper provides
an overview of XBRL technologies and how it is applied to decision making in several financial areas. It also
covers some possible extensions with the semantic Web and Web services as future challenges.

The role of metadata language implementation in the European banking supervision network
The mark-up language eXtensible Business Reporting Language
(XBRL) has been chosen by the Committee on European Banking Supervision
(CEBS), which reports to the European Central Bank (ECB), as the medium
of communication between financial entities and national supervisory
authorities, after considering the special features involved in the functioning of
the network comprising these entities. This system of communication makes it
possible for the various national authorities to collaborate in promoting the
stability and solvency of the financial system at the European level. The
construction of the new system has involved a collaborative framework in
which both the operating practices and the highest-level standards are
becoming uniform, making XBRL an element that is actively stimulating
cooperation between entities that work in this network. The present study
reviews the explicit benefits of the incorporation of this type of technology in
such networks, and how the fact that the incorporation of technology implies
consensus is enabling these networks to evolve into more cooperative
groupings, and to increase their visibility.

XBRL como nuevo lenguaje para la comunicación de las cuentas públicas
El lenguaje de marcas eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) está
siendo utilizado en la actualidad como medio de comunicación eficiente por
parte de diferentes organismos reguladores, como es el caso de Banco de España,
Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, Instituto de Contabilidad y
Auditoría de Cuentas y Registradores de España, entre otros.
Ahora, a raíz de la apuesta de la Intervención General de la Administración
del Estado (IGAE) por la utilización de este nuevo estándar para expresar la
información contable según las nuevas Instrucciones de Contabilidad de las
Entidades Locales (Órdenes), la Cámara de Cuentas de Andalucía, en colaboración
con la Universidad de Huelva, desarrollará un proyecto que extiende dicho
esfuerzo previo, utilizando XBRL para expresar la información anterior a la
entrada en vigor de la nueva normativa contable pública. El objetivo, facilitar
al ciudadano información de calidad en el formato que posee óptimas ventajas
tecnológicas.

Transforming XBRL into an OWL Ontology
The most important part od this document consists of the authors' attempt to transform an XBRL taxonomy into an OWL Ontology.
However, before the transformation process is presented, an elaborate and comprehensive introduction is given on XML, XBRL, NTP,
Ontologies and OWL to make the reader familiar with these concepts.

XBRL taxonomies and OWL ontologies for investment funds
The analysis of investment funds information requires the availability of homogeneous, both up-to-date and historical
information of the funds considered, which is usually generated and provisioned by different parties and in
heterogeneous formats. In this context, the gathering and integration of information from disparate,
heterogeneous sources becomes a key task that can be considerably eased by the availability of explicit
and shared information models. Furthermore, the analysis process leads to the generation of analytic,
added-value information, whose consumption by other parties can also benefit from the existence of agreed
information models. In this paper, we present our work on building explicit information models for
investment funds in the Spanish market. In particular, we present an XBRL taxonomy for investment funds and
a generic translation process of XBRL taxonomies into OWL ontologies that has been applied to the investment funds
taxonomy in order to obtain an OWL ontology of funds. Furthermore, we discuss the relative benefits of using OWL
ontologies or XBRL taxonomies for the exchange and analysis of investment funds information.

New Technical and Normative Challenges for XBRL: Multidimensionality in the COREP Taxonomy
The New Basel Capital Agreement, known as Basel II, requires some notable changes in the systems of measurement and control
of risks of credit entities and investment firms. It introduces new concepts and requirements. The systems of risk management
to which the Framework or Agreement makes reference can be implemented in various degrees of sophistication. By measuring the
different exposures to risk with greater accuracy, a more advanced system offers such firms and entities the prospect of needing
less own funds and using increased financial leverage over secure bases. The national Supervisors, in the various central banks,
must approve the systems and instruments established. The new reporting tool that is destined to fulfil this function, for the
moment in the context of the European Union only, is the COREP-XBRL Taxonomy. This is based on the mark-up language of the
business world, the eXtensible Business Reporting Language, and makes use of the concept of Multidimensionality. This concept
is being incorporated into the XBRL specification currently in force, since it is necessary for the structure of the new reporting
model that is required.

Economic and Financial Information Management and the Semantic Web
Economic and financial information has critical value for all kinds of institutions. An effective
generation, gathering, integration and analysis of such information is a key success factor for any
business and, therefore, requires techniques that reduce the current burden of dealing with big volumes
of rich information. While the information integration problem is common to all business areas, it becomes
apparent in the financial area, where information coming from multiple sources has to be homogenized in
order to facilitate analysis and to provide a uniform view of the business e.g. via a balance scorecard.
In addition, financial information is subject to official supervision e.g. by central banks. As a consequence,
the required information has to be obtained, homogenized following the supervisor rules, and validated,
guaranteeing its quality. In this paper, we present part of our experience in the use of semantic Web
technologies for the management of economic and financial information and the problems encountered.
In addition, we briefly introduce XBRL, a language that has gained a big momentum for business reporting, and
compare the paths followed by the XBRL community and the semantic Web community.

Semantic Web Technologies for Economic and Financial Information Management
The field of economy and finance is a conceptually rich domain where information is complex,
huge in volume and a highly valuable business product by itself. Novel management techniques are
required for economic and financial information in order to enable an efficient generation,
management and consumption of complex and big information resources. Following this direction,
we have developed and ontology-based platform that provides a) the integration of contents and
semantics in a knowledge base that provides a conceptual view on low-level contents,
b) an adaptive hypermedia-based knowledge visualization and navigation system and
c) semantic search facilities. We have developed, as the basis of this platform, an ontology for the
domain of economic and financial information.
