Abstract:
Generation of web-based Electronic Data Capture Forms (EDCF) from XML-encoded metadata is an efficient and reliable way to support research data collection. Using metadata-driven development we improved efficiency, maximized reuse and consistency. We describe why we developed our EDCF generator in this manner, our design goals and highlight two representative studies that made use of this approach.
