Dynamic Code Generation for Cultural Content Management

Digital repositories are popular means for preserving,restoring, and indexing archaeological and cultural content.They provide the base for development of a fauna of relatedapplications including virtual tours and data management. Commondifficulties such as the ever changing software specificationsfrom domain experts make this task challenging as the alterationsof the database schema lead to massive code rewrites. Withinthis context we propose and implement in practice a modelfor automated code generation building essentially a contentmanagement application by traversing a custom tree-based ERschema.
