Analysis of XBRL documents representing financial statements using Semantic Web Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an approach to analyze XBRL documents using semantic web technologies. The system takes an XBRL document and converts its information into RDF files. The obtained files are merged with an OWL ontology describing financial information domain. The system enables the formulation of SPARQL queries over the generated data which facilitate the analysis of the financial information. Currently the system has been applied to the XBRL reports generated by the Spanish Securities Commission.

متن کاملRepresenting Financial Reports on the Semantic Web: - A Faithful Translation from XBRL to OWL
We discuss a translation of financial reports from the XBRL format into Semantic Web language OWL. Different from existing approaches that do mechanic translation from XBRL’s XML schema into OWL, our approach can faithfully preserve the implicit semantics in XBRL and enable the logic model of financial reports. We show that such a translation reduces the risk of redundancy and inconsistency, an...
