Coping with public and private transport since 2001
Tomorrow, the seminar-class has been canceled as our professor is attending a seminar of his own. It has been rescheduled to Thursday I’ll come back to that then. While our professor is currently out of town, and even out of our country, we’ve stumbled upon several important questions regarding the transformation of XBRL into OWL, and thus ontologies. Due to
Continue readingThings do change. They also do in the digital world, and so does this blogging software. I’ve recently upgraded my software to a newer version and have taken the opportunity to check out solutions to issues I’ve been encountering during the use of this blogsoftware. Luckily for me, I’ve managed to at least solve one of my issues, which is
Continue readingAfter showing our professor the, slightly adopted, schema’s displayed in my previous post, we came to the conclusion we were on the right path although some adjustments would have to be made to make up the intelligent solution we aimed for. Our main concern is converting the different ‘parts’ of a balance, assets and liabilities, into a generic resource or
Continue readingDealing with several packages of software, most of them currently available under public licences is an art, and most definately an underestimated knowledge. As most software runs on JAVA, which is not a bad thing, the VM very often needs some modifications to be fully up to speed. With my 1Gb of RAM I’m currently experiencing quite a lot ‘out

(And he is right too! 😀 ) Anyway, today we had the group-session in which the semi-definitive object became clearer. As an assignment for again a group session next week we are to fiddle about with several programs and some

Here, we have to lay out our strategy to tackle the problem posed in the first part of the class: How to translate an XBRL-document into an OWL-document. We’ve been reading a

Today, I was having at least one of the last category: I wanted to add an image to a post. In WordPress (this blogsoftware) it can be done, but is far from easy. No thumbnails could be
Continue readingAs I mentioned in a few posts, both earlier, I was and still am about to release the documents we created during our seminar. This day, it is just that time! XML Guide – Basics for understanding XBRL – v1.0 The Definitive XBRL Guide v1.0 OWL Guide – A complete overview v0.5 Note that, in an attempt to re-enact total
Continue readingWow, that was quick! Only a few short hours after I sent the email I mentioned to E&Y, I already got an answer: I was the first one to notice the lacking of some pages. They immediately sent me (in PDF) the concerned chapters and I’m feeling happy with my (now complete) XBRL book. Thanks for the swift reply E&Y!

Turns out it’s incomplete. Being for free it should be complete, or at least nearly complete, but out of the 100 pages, there’s a staggering 16 missing: 10 t/m 15 20 t/m
