Getting Closer and Closer

I am getting closer and closer to what I have been trying to achive for quite some time.  I still have some significant tuning to do, but the general form is revealing itself. Have a look at the human-readable IFRS information below, but keep in mind that this information is also machine-readable:

IFRS:

• Balance sheet:
• Income statement:
• Statement of comprehensive income:
• Statement of income and comprehensive income:
• Cash flow statement:
• Document information:
• Statement of changes in equity:
• Notes (i.e. text blocks)
  • Notes
  • Policies
  • Disclosures
• Statements, notes, polices, disclosures combined (This video shows you what you can do with this basic RSS feed.)

US GAAP:

• Statements, policies, notes, disclosures
• Text blocks
• Disclosure best practices
• Disclosures (older style)
• Reporting styles

 

Again, not exactly where I want all this but if you use your imagination you might be able to figure out where I am going.  If you don't quite understand, reading Computer Empathy could be very helpful.
