RE: XBRL for DoD War on Waste?

Thanks Owen, I have copied the Navy folks. I believe the eGov TC in Oasis is big on XBRL due to the heavy influence of Finance types currently.

Richard & Susan, this article implies that DoD might benefit by participating in the September 19 workshop on XBRL: http://www.gcn.com/online/vol1_no1/41562-1.html

It might also be good to engage folks at GAO. XBRL is referenced in 9 places in their April 2002 report on XML: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d02327.pdf

BTW, here is the white paper the DFAS folks compiled on XBRL back in 2000: http://xml.gov/documents/completed/dfas_xbrl_issues.htm Here are the response from the XBRL Consortium: http://xml.gov/documents/completed/xbrl_consortium_responses.htm

John & John, the wiki Susan has established to support the September 19 workshop is at http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ExpeditionWorkshop/OpenCollaboration_NetworkingFinancialManagementCommunities I am linking to it at http://xml.gov/index.asp#September If you and/or any of your colleagues would like to participate, I trust that Richard and Susan would be pleased to hear from you.

Owen
