XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is an XML-type language for the electronic communication of business and financial data. It is becoming a standard around the world for companies to submit their financial results to various governmental agencies. WebFOCUS has extended its Financial Reporting Platform with the ability to create financial reports directly against XBRL. The way this is done is through the use of the Reporting Server’s XBRL adapter.

The XBRL adapter parses the XBRL documents to give a relational view to the data. Unlike the majority of our Reporting Server adapters, the current release does not require Create Synonym.
There are a couple of XBRL Master File Descriptions packaged with the Reporting Server used for all XBRL documents. They are xbrlr.mas and xbrlrd.mas, which exist in the \home\catalog directory of the Reporting Server installation.

I should also mention that it is possible to download XBRL Instance documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website and then
use WebFOCUS to compare the results between companies. Meaning, that the XBRL Instance Documents can be read directly without the need of extracting
the data into a database.
