Pedro: A configurable data entry tool for XML

Abstract

Summary: Pedro is a Java™ application that dynamically generates data entry forms for data models expressed in XML Schema, producing XML data files that validate against this schema. The software uses an intuitive tree-based navigation system, can supply context-sensitive help to users and features a sophisticated interface for populating data fields with terms from controlled vocabularies. The software also has the ability to import records from tab delimited text files and features various validation routines. © Oxford University Press 2004; all rights reserved.
