Taxonomy Versioning Ladder

As announced at the XBRL International XBRL Conference last December in Philadelphia, it is the intention of our Taxonomy Development Team to regularly post versions of drafts of the IFRS-GP as changes and improvements are made. The Versioning Ladder provides a complete audit trail of changes made to the taxonomy and the reasons for those changes.  It uses as a base the IFRS differencing linkbase technology developed in our .

See: http://www.iasb.org/xbrl/news/2006_12_04_versioning.html
