This is the language I’ve been using at Texas Tech for about a year now. You can’t find anything about the language other than from the research papers about SequenceL that Dr. Cooke has published.

The most awesome company in the world, Rackspace, hired me yesterday! The people I’ve met so far are great; they’re super nice. I’m going to get to use Ruby and Ruby on Rails on a day to day basis! My first day is September 7th, and I can’t wait. Between now and then we’ll be relocating to San Antonio. We’re pumped.

Thoughts on XBRL

Thoughts on XBRL

Aug 14

The problem with XML based standards is that they’re all intertwined with every other standard or RFC ever invented.

XBRL is dependent upon XML Schema, XLink, and XPointer. XLink is dependent upon XML Base,  XPointer, and Legacy Extended IRIs (LEIRIs). The LEIRI and XML Base specifications are dependent upon several RFCs.

I’m not even a quarter the way through the XBRL specification yet. :-O
