The concept of highly integrated and IT-supported information supply chains, sum- rized by the term Integrated Business Reporting, has increasingly moved into the fo- ground of research interest. Current discussions on the improvement of intra-enterprise and extra-enterprise reporting processes cannot be realized without a clear and uniform description of the involved elements. Facing a constantly changing operational and analytical application landscape, individual research projects are not sufficient to build a complete understanding of the research issues within the XBRL community. Based on the idea of supporting the information flows within enterprises and across complex information supply chains the eXtensible Businesses Reporting Language (XBRL) is established as a standard that supports intra- and inter-enterprise reporting as well as to a variety of information consumers. A key objective of the XBRL standard is to - crease the efficiency of the usage of information systems at the interface of business management and information technology. Today, the information integration market is fragmented to a considerable degree. Many proprietary solutions are used, from which no solution fulfills the complete requirements of a Web-oriented world. In these c- cumstances, XBRL works as a multifaceted solution. XBRL can be used to interc- nect information systems in order to realize a wide variety of data exchanges.
