TED, Authentic etc

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.
