The Digital archive database tool (DADT) is a tool for making sophisticated database application systems on the Web. DADT is a highly schema-driven tool. As long as the database schema is decided, users may follow some simple rules to design Web pages according to the schema, and obtain the support of DADT. Four kinds of Web pages are supported: Management, Query, List and Report. and DADT is also offered with fixed programs to be connect with DBMS and web interfaces. Except for the stricker restrictions for managing web pages, users can design the looks of the web pages and content in a flexible way.

System Function:

• The construction of Database: providing users with database schema to describe the overall structure of the information in a conceptual way. As long as the database schema is decided, users may follow some simple rules to design Web pages according to the schema, and obtain the support of DADT.
• Data Field: offering multi-valued fields, passive/active hierarchical form setting functions and multi-layer conversion programs.
• Data Cateloging: offering basic functions, such as adding, updating, deleting, and searching the archival data.
