Title: The Integration of Workflow Technology and XBRL

Abstract: Workflow technology is widely used for improving productivity of organizations. Workflow management systems containing organizational knowledge are designed to assist the people in carrying out work processes.

The eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) can increase the speed of handling financial data, reduce the chances of error and permit automatic checking of information, but current workflow systems do not yet support XBRL. This research is to make the data perspective of workflow system, such as the business documents, local variables of workflow system and other objects which flow between activities, support XBRL format data.
