JustSystems to Address Connection between XBRL and Semantic Web

Speaking Session at 2009 Semantic Technology Conference to Highlight How XBRL
Brings Precise Semantics to Financial Data
NEW YORK & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(Business Wire)--
Recent accounting scandals have heightened the need for transparency in
reporting of financial data. Companies are now required to submit regular
reports and disclosures conforming to accepted accounting principles like
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Financial regulators around the world have
also mandated that these reports be tagged using the eXtensible Business
Reporting Language (XBRL). As large repositories of XBRL data are now being
collected, the quality of data submission is on the rise.

JustSystems, the largest independent software vendor in Japan and a worldwide
leader in XML and information management technologies, today announced that
Diane Mueller, vice president, XBRL development for JustSystems, and vice chair
of XBRL International, Inc.; and Dave Raggett, JustSystems-sponsored W3C Fellow
and member of the XBRL International Standards Board (XSB), will be speaking
about XBRL at the 2009 Semantic Technology Conference being held June 14-18 at
the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, CA. The session titled, "XBRL, RDF and the
Semantic Web," will take place on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, at 4:30 p.m.

During the session, the presenters will address how XBRL brings precise
semantics to financial data via reference to external accounting principles. By
combining XBRL and the semantic web, there is tremendous potential for analyzing
and exploring vast amounts of financial information on companies and markets
worldwide.

Attendees will also learn about:

* Ramifications for both XBRL and the semantic web
* Standards development in relation to the semantic web that will complement the
work of XBRL International
* Semantic case studies for financial data
* Current work to date on generating Resource Description Framework (RDF) from
XBRL repositories
