Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer program product for adaptively interfacing with a data repository are disclosed. A data repository having associated meta-data is provided. The user interface is dynamically generated having interface elements that are dependent upon the meta-data. Operation of the interface is controlled by events that also are dependent upon data in the data repository and the meta-data. The user interface may be accessed using a browser, and web pages may be generated for delivery to the browser to provide the user interface.
