Abstract :
WebCUS uses XML and XSL to generate Web-based update interfaces with integrated access control mechanisms for arbitrary database schemas. WebCUS´s adaptability allowed us to reduce development time and costs in building update interfaces for managing the content databases of the 2002 Vienna International Festival (VIF) and the Austrian Academy of Sciences (AAS) Web sites. We examine the WebCUS architecture and describe our experiences deploying the system with the VEF and AAS sites.
