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 related applications including virtual tours and data management. Common difficulties such as the ever changing software specifications from domain experts make this task challenging as the alterations of the database schema lead to massive code rewrites. Within this context we propose and implement in practice a model for automated code generation building essentially a content management application by traversing a custom tree-based ER-schema.
