There a several options for creating CMDI records “by hand” (as opposed to having CMDI generated from a primary source by a script, repository system or other software):
- An XML editor such as oXygen or a text editor or code editor with XML support, preferably with XML Schema awareness.
- In addition to oXygen, which has a commercial licence, there are also numerous free XML editors. See for example this comparison of XML editors.
- COMEDI is an online CMDI editor developed within CLARINO that works with any profile.
Arbil, the metadata editor developed at the Max Planck Instititue for Psycholinguistics supports any CMDI profile and provides powerful table-based editing.No longer maintained!
Dedicated editors with a limited number of supported profiles:
- CMDI Maker from the University of Cologne
ProFormA, part of the NaLiDa project at University Tübingen.No longer available!
