Abstract:

This paper addresses the use of the W3C XForms standard in a general-purpose office application. XForms allows for the manipulation and processing of highly structured XML content while providing means of input validation and business logic inside the form. Through the integration of XForms support into an office application, the user is enabled to work with arbitrarily structured XML data in a convenient and well-known environment. The XForms integration into StarOffice and OpenOffice.org that the author shows here supports the user in the design phase of the form, as well as during data entry and validation in the deployed form.
