Ed,
A possible translation reads -
XBRL is a financial reporting and accounting
system.
It makes extensive use of referential links
akin
to using codelists in traditional EDI, but
more
complex. Reporting categories and
classifications are also supported.
These are implemented using XLink
mechanisms.
This allows users to indicate what
amounts
actually represent relative to the acounting
process
and give an indication of how they were obtained
arithmetically.
Sarbanes-Oxley is one heavy use area in the
USA.

Hi Joe,
There
might be a bit of "semantic conflict" here :-)
"taxonomies" in XBRL are a bit different from what
you're probably thinking of in relation to the FEA & DRM. XBRL taxonomies
are somewhat specific to the XBRL world. They are financial concept reporting
vocabularies based on the XBRL framework. They are more grounded in specific
technology than the more typical conceptual "taxonomy". XBRL taxonomies are
actual sets of XML and XSD files. They tend to be geo-political or
domain-based vocabularies and are often extended/narrowed for specific
industries or sub-domains.
Just FYI - XBRL does not follow typical XML
language construction - it's quite unique.
Here are some good
references:

Best
regards,

Harm,
Your mention of the first national XBRL
taxonomy in the Netherlands is very interesting, and would be beneficial for
us to know in the US as we are in the midst of a very large governmentwide
initiative called the Data Reference Model (DRM[1]), which is part of the
Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA). One of the DRM's 3 primary areas is
Data Context, which involves taxonomies.
Can you please send information to this
list (the E-Gov TC list) regarding the XBRL taxonomy?
Thanks very much,
Joe Chiusano
I
see this group is in a desperate need for a face to face meeting with some
spare time at the bar. No lack of subjects there.
Harm jan van Burg
not wanting to kill any discussion, by the way.
Sorry for the lack of e-mails from my part. I had the introduction of
the first national XBRL taxonomy overhere, a trip abroad and day's with not
enough hours. I will come back to the list with some ideas one of these
days
Peter,
Remember the tobacco industry - and a row of
company executives entoning before Congress - 'Nicotine is not
addictive'?
If you have not already seen it - check out
the DVD "Supersize Me!", and notice how he became to crave eating the fat
and sugar laden food that was making him ill - and felt a high when he
did.
Then ask yourself - why are 60% percent of
Americans clinically overweight, and for some minorities this reaches over
80% for members over the age of 30? Target - lower income brackets -
mass market.
50% of Americans used to smoke, with higher
majority in the low-income, lesser educated.
Errrr, Kimosabi, is there some correlation
here?
Just what additives are going into processed
food - and what are we not being told?

That would be "nationwide unhealthy service", no?
or are you really suggesting a national policy? The food giants actually
working with government in formulating unhealthy policy? Surely
not....
But some would argue that the US has the
worlds finest National Unhealthy services - and that
giant corporations are toiling night and
day to ensure citizen remain unhealthy so they
can exploit the situation for
profit.
Self-maintenance can obviously save you a
bunch of money here....

Doesn't want
to imply...that the US has a national (read "public", certainly in
Europe) health service? rather than a nationwide health
service...

I believe it may simply be
a matter of semantics. The person who made the statement (or as I
understand the statement to mean) was Mary Forbes. She said that the
name change was made because they did not want to imply ______ (and
it's that blank that I don't recall).
Hope that helps - at least
a bit.
Hi Joe, I suppose that change
means something, but I don't know what it
is?

I understand from
yesterday's Data Reference Model (DRM) Public Forum that the
National Health Information Network is now going to be referred to
as the Nationwide Health Information Network.
