`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Methods and systems in accordance with the present inven-
`tion allow users to efliciently 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-
`fionship 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 accountiny system, formatting the informationinto
`an XBRL document, and transmitting it to an end source.
`Furthermore, systems and methods in accordance with the
`present invention allowa user to translate an XBRL docu-
`ment into RDL format and use the RDL. system to manipu-
`late and analyze it.

`the HyperText Markup Language (“HTML”), A markup
`language is implemented by embedding markup “tags,”
`special sequences ofcharacters, that describe the structure as
`well as the behavior of a document and instruct a web
`
`browser or other programin the manner in whichto display
`the document. Typically, documents or web pages formatted
`in HTML are simply ASCII text files that mix ordinary text
`with the markup tags.
`However, the eXtensible Markup Language (“XML”) is
`rapidly becoming the lingua franca for data exchange across
`the Internet. XML is a free-form markup language with
`unspecified tags, which allows developers to develop their
`tags and, in effect, create their own markup languages geared
`toward specialized tasks.
`In XML, the tags are organized
`according to certain rules, but their meaning, is flexible. As
`such, different prolessions may develop their own special-
`ized markup languages. For additional reference, XMLis
`described in greater detail in “XMLBible,“ Elhotte Rusty
`Harold.
`IDG Books Worldwide, 1999, which is herein
`
`incorporated by reference.
`The eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”),
`a markup language which has an underlying syntax defined
`in XML, is the creation of an international XBRLproject
`committee (XBRL.org) formed under the auspices of the
`American
`Institute of Certified Public Accountants
`
`aa
`
`(“AICPA”). In creating XBRL, the committee’s goal was to
`develop a standard. computer-readable reporting language
`for financial information for businesses.
`
`(1) a
`Generally, XBRL includes two major elements:
`“taxonomy.” which defines the financial terms which can be
`reported and the interrelationships between these terms, and
`(2) an “instance document.” which includes reported values
`for the terms of the taxonomy and references to the terms.
`An XBRL taxonomy is normally maintained by some con-
`trolling national authority such as the AICPA, which defines
`the actual accounting terms and their interrelationships in a
`jurisdiction. XBRL instance documents, on the other hand,
`are generally produced by business entities in a jurisdiction,
`Simply put, an instance documentis a report froma financial
`institution, and the referenced taxonomy forms the context
`in which to read the report. Por
`the purposes of this
`specification. the term “instance document” and “report”
`may be used interchangeably, A report is a further formatted
`Background
`instance document,
`In today’s world, increasing use of computers, computer
`Morespecifically, XBRL taxonomies form the context lor
`applications and communication networks such as the Inter-
`XBRL instance documents: that is, they define the names,
`net has created many different communication and data
`protocols. The variety ofprotocols and lack ofstandardiza-
`data types (e.g., textual, monetary, numeric), and relation-
`
`tion posesasignificant problem for manyindustries, suchas ships (account/suh-account) that XBRL instance documents
`the financial industry. Conventionally, different companies,
`can reference. XBRL instance documents report values for
`industries, and governments use different accounting sys-
`elements (not necessarily all elements) defined in a tax-
`tems and technological means for handling their financial
`onomy. The XBRL instance document is responsible for
`information, and therefore cannot interact with each other
`providing information about quantitative values such as the
`efficiently. The lack of reporting standards and technological
`currency (monetary types), precision (e.g., values reported +
`standards greatly impedes efliciency in communicating
`or -10%), and magnitude (e.g.. numbers in thousands,
`financial information, which, in turn, has led to the increas-
`millions, ete.)

`The followingis a brief explanationof the contents ofthe
`instance document fragment and the interrelation between
`the taxonomy and instance document fragments of Tables |
`and 2. In the instance document [ragment. the “xmilns” lines
`and the schemaline ofthefirst group may be ignored. For
`the purposesofthis explanation, the groups are identified by
`bracketed comments including the group number. The bal-
`ance ofthe elements in the first group define default report-
`ing parameters. Parameters for an entry (indicated by an
`item tag) are determined by examining the entry and its
`containing groups, inward to outward. The first value found
`for a parameter is the value for that item.
`Furthermore. the first group encompassesall others, so it
`defines the defaults. In particular, the defaults for the above
`instance document fragment are id (“™), entry type (“state-
`ments”). reporting entity (“Alaska Air Group, Ine.”), cur-
`rency type used (US $), scale factor (all values in millions),
`significant digits in numbers (10), decimal patter (standard
`US with commas and decimal point at cents), and format
`nt
`(“"). In the above defaults, the empty brackets (“”) indicate 2
`that there is no entry.
`The second group tag establishes a report segment, in this
`instance a balance sheet. The third group tag specifies that
`the items it contains report on taxonomy item “cash-
`CashEquivalentsAndShortTerm Investments.cashAnd-
`Cashquivalents.” The elements of this taxonomy item are
`identified in the taxonomy document
`fragment provided
`above in Table 1. By calling the taxonomy ttem from within
`the instance document, the values from the instance decu-
`ment are assigned to the elements of the laxonomy docu-
`ment.

`publishan international] taxonomy whichcan serve as a basis
`for each memberstate's GAAP taxonomy. This taxonomyis
`described in greater detail in “XBRL Essentials,” Charles
`Hofiman, Carolyn Strand, American Institute of Certified
`Public Accountants. Inc., 2001, which is herein incorporated
`by reference.
`XBRL is an XML-based language used for reporting
`financials such as balance sheets, cash flow reports, and the
`basic information that
`is reported to the Securities and
`Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Conventionally, users (1)
`manually composefiles to be submitted to the SEC or (2)
`pay someone to put the files in computer-readable form.
`XBRL. however, provides a computer-readable format for
`companies to reporttheir financials to the SEC on Electronic
`Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”)
`forms. EDGAR is the SECdatabase where companies report
`their financial performance to the SEC,
`Although XBRL is well-defined, tools are not available
`for users to build XBRL. reports. Currently, users may not
`automatically build financial reports and SECfilings that are
`acceptable to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Con-
`ventional systems also do not enable reports to be automati-
`cally scheduled and transmitted in XBRL format. Further-
`more, users cannot automatically link a current accounting
`system to an XBRL. document to generate an XBRL report.
`They also do not have an efficient and automatic means to
`analyze and manipulate dala in an XBRI, document.
`It is
`therefore desirable to overcome the aforementioned prob-
`lems and other related problems,
`
`SUMMARY
`
`Within the third group, the “label” tag specifies that a new
`label is being provided to override a label in the taxonomy
`document. The “lang™ tag indicates that an english language
`label
`is being overridden. The newlabel (cash and cash
`equivalents) follows the “lang” tag definition. The next two
`items identified by “item period” provide reports for the
`penods ending Dec. 31, 1998 and Dec. 31, 1999, Using the
`defaults fromthe first group tay, these items indicate that Air
`Alaska’s cashAndCashFquivalents were US$29.4 Million in
`1998 and US$132.5 Million in 1999, A similar report would
`follow for
`shortTermlnvestments.marketableSecurities,
`which is the next call within the balance sheet
`report
`segment. This, again, is a call relating to the elements ofan
`item within the taxonomy document. The elements of this
`laxonomy item are not shown in the above taxonomy
`document fragment.
`In addition to defining a taxonomy, XBRL also provides
`a mechanism whereby taxonomies can be extended to
`include company-specific accounting practices by adding
`new elements (e.g., for a baseball team, ground keeping
`expense may be addedto the taxonomy). Thus, a company
`can maintain an internal accounting siruclure at any level of
`sophistication, XBRL takes advantage of the fact
`that
`approved accounting, systemsroll up to the elements detined
`in a jurisdiction's Generally Accepted Accounting Practices
`(“GAAP”), This means that all companies in a jurisdiction
`can report (at some perhaps aggregated level) with reference
`to the GAAP-based taxonomy. This. permits true “apples-
`lo-apples” comparison of a company’s [nancial data without
`placing new requirements on the company’s
`internal
`accounting practices,

`Methods and systems consistent with the present inven-
`tion provide a data processing system for developing reports
`5 comprising: a parser that receives one or more text docu-
`ments and creates software elements having a format witha
`hierarchal relationship between the software elements based
`on the one or more text documents; and an editor that
`develops reports by referencing the soltware elements cre-
`aled from the text documents and retrieving data from one
`or more sources to represent one or more values within the
`report. In one implementation, the format with the hierarchal
`relationship between the software elements is the Numerator
`Document Object Model (“NDOM”), whichis developed by
`interpreting tags included in the text document.
`the editor
`In accordance with the present
`invention,
`enables the modification ofthe software elements to create
`a new combination of software elements representative ofa
`new text document, In one implementation, the editor also
`0 enables the editing of the parameters associated with the
`software elements.
`Furthermore, i another implementation, methods and
`systems consistent with the present
`invention provide a
`manager, which manipulates the software elements and
`enables browsing, editing, loading, and storing of the sofi-
`ware elements. Also, the systems and methods consistent
`with the present invention provide a mapper for generating
`a relationship between data from one or more sources and
`the one or more values to be placed within the report. The
`mapper working in conjunction with a report
`template
`generates the report. The template contains data that
`is
`directly inserted into the report and instructions to enable the
`mapper to retrieve data from the one or more sources for
`insertion into the report.
`Funher,
`in yet another implementation, methods and
`system consistent with the present
`invention provide a
`means for transforming the software elements to new sofi-

`the new software elements by retrieving a tag associated
`with each of the software elements in a dictionary and
`invoking a translation routine associated with the tag.
