Framework includes a domain specific language (DSL) for authoring rules and a processing engine to run rules against a financial report formatted in the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). Created a database repository of XBRL financial report data. The repository is able to import data from any XBRL source. The repository is used by financial analysts, data agregrators, public companies, government agencies and watchdog groups.
