It's time to Askaref
The mission of Askaref is to provide a resource for XBRL users, programmers, and auditors and a tool to easily reference with desired preassigned XBRL tag.
The idea behind XBRL, eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is simple. Instead of treating financial information as a block of text – as in a standard internet page or a printed document – it provides an identifying tag for each individual item of data. This is computer readable. For example, company net profit has its own unique tag.* (from the official XBRL site)
This site provides mincases for the academic world to show the uses of XBRL. For the business environment there are real world examples.
If you are a professor who is looking for one site that has the key elements to build a lesson plan on the XBRL issues; ASKAREF provides a comprehensive coverage whether that is for IT, accounting, or financial analsysis.
