    Kugel also presents a few good case studies on the varied uses of XBRL. One of the cases he features is that of the MIX — the Microfinance Industry Exchange. XBRL International has a case study on the MIX and XBRL on their site at http://www.xbrl.org. And Kugel’s case studies are available on UBmatrix’s website at http://www.ubmatrix.com/casestudies/
