`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Methods and systems in accordance with the present inven­
`tion allow users to efficiently manipulate, analyze, and
`transmit
`eXtensible Business Reporting Language
`("XBRL") reports. They allow users to automatically build
`financial reports that are acceptable to governing agencies
`such as the IRS. In one embodiment, the reports are devel­
`oped by a parser that transforms text documents into soft­
`ware elements containing a format with a hierarchal rela­
`tionship between the software elements, and an editor that
`develops reports by referencing the software elements trans­
`formed from the text documents. Methods and systems in
`accordance with the present invention also enable reports to
`be automatically scheduled by gathering desired information
`from an accounting system, formatting the information into
`an XBRL document, and transmitting it to an end source.
`Furthermore, systems and methods in accordance with the
`present invention allow a user to translate an XBRL docu­
`ment into RDL format and use the RDL system to manipu­
`late and analyze it.
