Method Support
Method Support is a system for quickly producing process support Web sites. It simplifies the process by requiring the administrator to just provide a "schema" file describing the forms and the workflow that define the process. The administrator can then generate the entire site by running a single command line. Method Support is a program for supporting procedures by defining online forms, equivalent to a set of paper forms. The emphasis of this approach is to make it easy to set up forms and to modify the forms over time.
