* is there any free software at all supporting (even if only partially) the
XBRL standard?
Conclusions
XBRL open source initiatives are scarce.
xBReeze, from UBMATRIX and Batavia XBRL Java Library (BXJL) are the most complete solutions, in terms of technical criteria,and their XBRL specification support and the XBRL specific features provided.
The scope of the study does not include the edition and creation of taxonomies and instance documents. One important featureon processing XBRL is the validation engine, where both xBReeze and BXJL libraries includes. The BXJL remarks on XBRL
validation, but their licence is not truly open source, dependent upon some type of agreement with Batavia.
The development which is most focused on an open source community is the XBRLApi.org project, promoted by Galexy. Despitethe lack of some XBRL components in the beta version it could be extended with new features and components.
Although none of the tools evaluated provides all of documentation, ease of use, ease of set up, functionality and performance tothe standard of other open source technologies, the combination of these libraries offers a sufficient base for the development of
an XBRL service platform or suite for processing and interchange of XBRL documents.
As the managing and accounting software providers could be interested in the use of any resulting work they should be invited toparticipate in the initiative to create and evolve these open source libraries.
