Batavia XBRL 2009

Batavia XBRL offers new Regulator Edition licenses

Batavia XBRL launches a new offering for regulators worldwide that are challenged to purchase XBRL processing software in a specialty software market. These market conditions often result in high prices and time and budget consuming tender processes. Tender processes pose a serious threat to project delivery schedules.

Batavia addresses these challenges by pricing Regulator Edition licenses for Batavia software always within your threshold for tendering.

Batavia software supports XBRL, Dimensions and Business Rules for any receiving, processing, validation, rendering, transforming and storage functionality regulators might require. Regulator Edition licenses include support, maintenance and updates for the evolving XBRL and SBR standards

Chamber of Commerce The Netherlands – Annual Account Demonstration

The chamber of commerce the Netherlands demonstrated the possibilities of XBRL for its organisation in May 2006. The aim of this demo was to publicly demonstrate the processing of a annual account in XBRL by means of a web portal, by the Chamber of Commerce the Netherlands.

This annual account was electronically sent in by · then minister of justice · Mr. Donner. In this test the annual report was received by the chamber of commerce in XBRL, processed and converted to PDF in order for it to be shown to Donner for verification. After verification the shown annual account was stored in back Office system for later consultation.

"The Dutch Chambers of Commerce have used the services and software of Batavia XBRL™ in their project to demonstrate the possibilities of XBRL and the Dutch Taxonomy. Working with Batavia XBRL we appreciated the speed, flexibility and active participation to finding solutions, combined with the knowledge of the subject. Said: Remco van Alderwegen, Projectmanager ICT.

Tax and Customs Administration The Netherlands · Proof of Concept [1] Validation

Development of web portal arrangement with which BD could receive XBRL. The XBRL reports were put on a Message queue of IBM Message broker.

In the overall process which works on received reports new processing has been realised to validate and analyse XBRL content. Furthermore a component was added for the XBRL content to be converted 'on the fly' to HTML format.

Chamber of Commerce The Netherlands – Annual Account Proof of Concept

Batavia XBRL components have been tested by the chamber of commerce the Netherlands during a "proof-of-concept" in November and December 2005. The aim of this test was to establish whether annual accounts in XBRL could be processed on their IBM AS400 platform.

The complete range of Batavia XBRL components was used to arrange a web portal. By means of the web portal annual accounts in XBRL format could be uploaded to be checked and converted on a server to HTML or PDF. Also the specific data from the XBRL report was abstracted at the same time to be stored directly in the existing systems of chamber of commerce for the standard annual account.

Furthermore in this "proof-of-concept" consult functions were realised for picking up XBRL standard annual accounts. By supplying the CC id number for a company the system could read the fields for a standard annual account from the standard annual accounts system so that they could be converted to XBRL annual account. This annual account could be shown then as HTML, PDF or even raw XBRL. This allowed that historical data which never has been a XBRL annual account to be presented as XBRL data.

The presentation of this "proof-of-concept" took place in January 2006 in private ring.

National Bank of Belgium (NBB) · CSSR project

The National Bank of Belgium (NBB) has selected Batavia XBRL Java Library to enable the processing of XBRL by the statistic server of the department CSSR.

In only a couple of weeks Batavia business Reporting knowledge on the functioning of Batavia XBRL Java Library (BXJL) was transferred. Afterwards ICT staff of the NBB have been able themselves to take up BXJL and incorporate it in the CSSR systems.

By means of the Java API of BXJL the XBRL processor is addressed to distil the contents from XBRL instances and to validate them. In the procedures and processes of NBB virtually nothing has changed, except that the CSSR server now also can process XBRL by to use of the Java API of Batavia XBRL Java Library.

Governments and/or their agencies can now request a download and evaluate the full functionality of the Batavia XBRL Java Library (BXJL) at no charge under the conditions of this LICENSE. Included in this download is the XDT module for XBRL Dimensional Taxonomies.

The Batavia XBRL™ Java Library exposes an Application Programming Interface (API) that closely follows the XBRL specification. This API enables a developer to perform fine-grained operations on any XBRL component. All XBRL components that can be expected based on the specification of the core or any module are represented with interfaces and implementations.

Included in the download you will find developer documentation and two example applications that demonstrate BXJL in action.

If you start reading this book, you probably have already heard of a ‘new’ way to do business reporting called XBRL™.

If you’ve taken a look at the specification of the XBRL language you’ll know that it consists of a 150+ page document full of formal definitions. Such a document is necessary to correctly define XBRL. Perhaps it is even relaxing bed-time reading material to mathematicians. But for us ‘normal’ people it is less so.

View or download
XBRL in Plain English

For us ‘normal’ people, this book gives a ‘plain English summary’ of the XBRL specification. It should give you a good feel for what XBRL is and how it can be used. The book mainly focuses on the 'functionality' of XBRL as expressed by the specification. You will not learn every nitty-gritty detail by reading this book. If you need that level of detail, e.g. when you want to write your own XBRL validating software, you must still refer to the formal specification. But even then, this book will certainly serve as an introduction to the exciting world of XBRL.
