Hi Malte,

actually, i thought, i sent a posting  earlier,
but it does not show up here, so i try again....

Malte, you might look into an approach for storing
meta-data via xotcl in:
https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=182169
certainly, this meta-data can made persistent as well..

As a oo proponent, i certainly think that for handling
complex object structures, a system can benefit from
oo functionality, eg for providing different viewers
for different situations for different classes.

To draw the line between
the tasks of a form builder and the complex object
is not a simple task, but certainly, some meta-data
about the object structure is the way to go.

I have a longer running plan to extend standard
meta-data-facilities of the parameter command
in xotcl; if you have challenging problems, let me know.

best regards
