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.

Someone pointed me to Yahoo Pipes which is one of the most clever and interesting things I have seen in a while. The general overview is that you can use pre-built widgets to string together sets of data, do things like filter the data, and end up with some resulting output set. There is a bit of an explanation on Wikipedia. But, the best way to understand it is to watch this video which shows you how to build a pipe, or go grab an existing pipe and reverse engineer it to see what it is doing.
It would be great if there were an XBRL widget so you can easily add XBRL instances and XBRL taxonomies to your data sets.
