Zusammenfassung
Within the FP7 European project MONNET -- Multilingual Ontologies for Networked
Knowledge see http://www.monnet-project.eu/ --, we are specifying and implementing a use
case concerning business intelligence on European companies, involving a semantic-level
analysis of business reporting in several languages. This use case is building on national and
international accounting regulations that are encoded in XBRL taxonomies. XBRL (eXtensible
Business Reporting Language) is an XML-based open standard for identifying and
communicating complex financial information in corporate business reports.
In Monnet we plan to use an "upgraded" XBRL in form of localized ontologies that support not
only the translation of the central elements of business reports (in Dutch, English, German and
Spanish), but also the extraction, integration and presentation of financial data available in
various types of documents in various languages. With this use case, Monnet hopes to
contribute to the effective sharing of financial and business knowledge across Europe.
