BLOG:  Digital Financial Reporting

This is a blog for information relating to digital financial reporting.  This blog is basically my "lab notebook" for experimenting and learning about XBRL-based digital financial reporting.  This is my brain storming platform.  This is where I think out loud (i.e. publicly) about digital financial reporting. This information is for innovators and early adopters who are ushering in a new era of accounting, reporting, auditing, and analysis in a digital environment.

Much of the information contained in this blog is synthasized, summarized, condensed, better organized and articulated in my book XBRL for Dummies and in the chapters of Intelligent XBRL-based Digital Financial Reporting. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Enterprise Knowledge Graph Principles

The Enterprise Knowledge Graph Foundation has published a set of principles for an Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG).

A knowledge graph is one approach to storing information within a knowledge base.  The article, What is a Knowledge Graph? is an explanation of what a knowledge graph is (and isn't) and the difference between a knowledge base and a database.  You can download the knowledge base GraphDB here. This is a quick start guide for GraphDB.  Or, you can fiddle around in the Neo4j Sandbox here.

This is an excellent article that explains why graph databases are the future of databases.  This is excellent information aboug GSQL which is a graph query language.
