EDGAR Online Executive will Present at the 23rd International XBRL Conference

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EDGAR® Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: EDGR), a leading global provider of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) software, services and data, today announced that Ed McDonnell, executive vice president of worldwide sales and field delivery, will present at the 23rd International XBRL Conference in Montreal. In two panels, McDonnell will educate the audience on how disclosure filings can be used to enhance business performance and why XBRL data can be a key part of the foundation of enterprise risk management, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and governance of firms.

In the "How is XBRL Being Used for Business Performance?" panel on October 25, McDonnell will join Panel Moderator Mike Willis, global lead partner of PricewaterhouseCooper, along with Mike Starr of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Emily Huang, co-founder and vice president of business technology for Rivet Software. The trio will discuss the value of XBRL data when leveraged for not only disclosure filings but also for conducting risk performance, management and analysis, and ultimately to enhance a company's business outcomes.

Additionally, McDonnell will present during the "Who is Using XBRL, Anyway?" panel on October 26, also moderated by Willis. McDonnell and Susan Yount from the SEC's Office of Interactive Disclosure will highlight where XBRL is available throughout the world and how companies are using the standard for more than filing purposes.

"Ed's contributions to the 23rd International XBRL Conference underscore EDGAR Online's commitment to educating the international market on the value of XBRL data," said EDGAR Online President and CEO Robert J. Farrell. "Our participation in this conference and other similar events allows us to spread the word throughout the industry about the value of XBRL."
