Within the context of the European research project "Monnet"; which implements among other activities ontology-based multilingual information extraction; we tackle the the issue of recognizing variants of concept labels in business reports that guide the information extraction process. In this short paper; we describe two related experiments in finding variants of multilingual taxonomy labels used in business reporting - across distinct reporting legislations and languages. A core taxonomy developed by the XBRL-Europe Association provides a starting point; as we map multilingual term variant candidates we extract from the web presence of relevant players in the field of business reporting to its labels.
