Slide 7

JP1 XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language. It is one of a family of "XML" languages which is becoming a standardmeans of communicating information between businesses and on the internet.

XBRL is being developed by an international non-profit consortium of approximately 450 major companies, organisations andgovernment agencies. It is an open standard, free of licence fees. It is already being put to practical use in a number of countries andimplementations of XBRL are growing rapidly around the world.

XBRL is a language for the electronic communication of business and financial data which is revolutionising business reporting aroundthe world. It provides major benefits in the preparation, analysis and communication of business information. It offers cost savings,greater efficiency and improved accuracy and reliability to all those involved in supplying or using financial data.

Oracle BI ServerCommon Enterprise Information Model

Simplified Logical Model

The Oracle BI server presents as a

logically modeled database enabling the

Common Enterprise Information Model.

This rovides owerful calculation

38

computation and federation capabilities to

3rd party tools as well as our own.


40/87

A Day in the Life of a Query

39


41/87


40

A logical request comes in asking for

Brand,

Closed Revenue (GL)

Service Requests (Call Center)

Share of Revenue (Derivation)


42/87


Oracle BI Server Cache

41

The Server will check to see if this requestcan be fulfilled via a prior request using

Server Cache.

This is an on-demand intelligent shareable

and secure cache that can support:

Subsets, Aggregations and Derivations


43/87


Navigator

42

If it is the request is cannot be fulfilled bycache then the server will intelligently

process the request


44/87


Multi-Pass/Sub-Request Logic

43

Does this analysis require sophisticatedanalysis such as an OLAP calculation?

[Revenue Share]

The Server will determine the bestpossible way to provide this

calculation/computation


45/87


Fragmentation Optimization

44

Does this request span across partitionsor silos of data?

[Closed Revenue and Service Requests]

The server will determine based on therequest if it should navigate to both or only

one. It will automatically resolve fan traps.


46/87


Aggregate Navigator

45

Is there an aggregate that can bettersatisfy this request versus hitting the

detail?

{Brand Summary Table}

The Server will apply approprate summary

redirection to provide the quickest

response.


47/87


Optimized Query Rewrites

46

What can be function-shipped down to thedatabase versus performed

/supplemented by the computation

capabilities of the Server.

The server will provide a consistent set offunctionality to the user regardless of

underlying datasource.
