[Chicago] XBRL

[Thomas Johnson]

What I'm really trying to do with the data is replace one of our existing
data vendors. Basically my startup (FactorWave.com) uses peer-reviewed
research from academia and hedge funds to score stocks on various factors.
A lot of that research depends on fundamental data. I think our current
vendor is mostly just scraping and normalizing the XBRL data, so if I can
do that myself it would save us money as well as give us access to more
timely and more fine-grained data.
