Many organizations are using the Web for electronic commerce or purely for the collection and dissemination of information based on forms and tables. For many of these organizations a bespoke Web design with specialized Java Script is what they want.However, for organizations not wishing to make this investment, a flexible system based on a standard XML DTD could fit the bill. Fully functional E-forms can be prepared and maintained for a fraction of the price of a bespoke Web design. Based on a combination of the knowledge of the real meaning of data and metadata, XML and the Web, and object oriented technology, there is a new way to develop e-forms and to integrate them with applications.
