Hi team, At the meeting MacKenzie mentioned a system called TED (templated database) developed at Harvard that is designed to be customisable so it can deal with different metadata schema. For more details see http://hul.harvard.edu/ois/systems/ted/index.html http://hul.harvard.edu/ois/systems/ted/f-adminMDfaq.html and for an example of usage of TED, see http://ted.hul.harvard.edu:8080/ted/deliver/home?_collection=bil I've seen a demonstration of the TED editor for entering instance data using forms derived from XML Schema. There is quite a big overlap in functionality between this work and various commercial products such Authentic created by Altova - see http://www.nanonull.com for a demonstration. Authentic is a web-browser based XML editor that uses XML Schema and an XSL to create a UI & xml-structure/validation definitions, it generates an editor for instances of the XSD, and validates as you enter info.
