Abstract

So far, many user interfaces for XML data (documents) have been constructed from scratch for specific XML vocabularies and applications. The tool support for user interfaces for XML data is inadequate. Forms-XML is an interactive component invoked by applications for generating user interfaces for prescribed XML vocabularies automatically. Based on a given XML schema, the component generates a hierarchy of HTML forms for users to interact with and update XML data compliant with the given schema. The user interface Forms-XML generates is very simple with an abundance of guidance and hints to the user, and can be customized by user interface designers as well as developers.
