X (BRL) Marks the Spot; Says SEC
How does XBRL work? Patrick Quinlan, president of Denver-based firm Rivet Software, explains: "Rivet develops software
for XBRL creation and viewing and web-based financial aggregation, analysis, and publishing solutions. We built the SEC
rendering engine that allows XBRL-based financial reports to be viewed on the SEC website. Look at XBRL as a UPC code.
When a supermarket scans it, they know the product; when they received it; the expiration date; what they paid for it and
what they will charge the consumer. When you look at an XBRL filing with the SEC and scan over a number, it will describe
in exact detail what that number means."
