== Specification ==
 
== Introduction ==
There are many examples of financial transactions across the web and in desktop applications, including bank statements, purchase receipts, wishlists, [[PersonalFinanceManager | PFM]] applications, etc. A standardized format would facilitate integration between vendors, financial institutions and applications to provide for far more robust financial accounting integration.
 
== Format ==
There are many data formats used in financial systems to represent transactions. The vast majority of these are proprietary, typically resulting from an evolution from paper-based accounting to mainframe computing to electronic interchange networks to the web and now to mobile systems.
 
A simple semantic format using (like [[hcard | hCard]]) object/property names in lower-case for class names. Financial transaction attributes would be mapped to nested XHTML elements.
