Automatic Generation of Content Management Systems from EER-Based Specifications
Abstract
ERW (entity-relationship Web browser) is an innovative open-source system for handling complex databases using a Web browser. Once the details of an enhanced entity-relationship schema have been specified in XML (eXtended Markup Language), ERW generates a complete application that lets the user interact with the database. Then, specification percolation makes it possible to customize heavily the application while maintaining the flexibility of a model-driven approach.
