XML is Extensible• Whereas HTML has a fixed set of tags

–<H1>, <B>, <PRE>

• XML lets you create your own tags–<sugary-substance>–<Shakespearean-character>–<cash-equivalent>

HTML vs. XML

• HTML• <html>• <body>• <p>Purchase Order, Stock Number 1002, 2,

100</p>• </body>• </html>

•XML

•<purchase_order>•<stock_number>1002</stock_number>• <price>100</price>• <number>2</number>•</purchase_order>

Who defines the tags?

• Tags are defined by industry consortiums

Each industry’s standardtags are commonly referred to as a taxonomy

XML & Data Exchange

Improves the way companies -- and applications -- share information Enjoys strong industry and vendor support

Provides a common way for disparate systems to exchange specific information (application integration)

Uses tags to give context and structure to the content

Published as a recommendation by the W3 Consort

XML Summary

Provides a means to separate data from style so a single source can be output for multiple uses

Separates data from logic of applications so that it can be reused for multiple purposes.

Why Now ?Internet

XML Domain Expertise

HTML is the language that opened up the internet, enabling users to browse the web.

The next step to using the internet for business.

XBRL is a global e-business language for financial

information, reporting and analysis.

XBRL: eXtensible Business Reporting Language Markup language based on XML Created by XBRL.org For financial information interchange

among computers all over the world A global effort to build the “digital

business language” To be made by all the financial

information supply chain participants.

Http://www.xbrl.org

Five Years Ago …October 14, 1999

XBRL began with the idea of a single individual - Charlie Hoffman, from a

small CPA firm in a small town …

… and 13 Sponsoring Companies

XBRL is similar to the U.P.C SealXBRL is similar to the U.P.C Seal

“We showed that it could be done on a massive scale, that cooperation without antitrust implications was possible for the common good, and that business didn’t need the government to shove it in the right direction”

— Alan Haberman, Chairman, Symbol Standardization Subcommittee

“I think the industry has sold itself on a program that offers so little return that it simply won’t be worth the trouble and expense”

— A Midwest Chain Executive, 1975
