1. Introduction:

Welcome to the Berlin model Viewer v1.0. This software is intendeed to be used by people who want 
to publish their data using the Berlin model in Internet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Requeriments:

- A web server able to execute ASP v2.0 or more
- A "Berlin model" compliant database accesible from this web server. The only support databases 
  until now are MS Access and SQL Server, is not test but it should work also with an ODBC conn.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Installation instructions.

It's easy to install this software if the web server and the database are correctly setup.
The only file you need to change is connections/conn.asp
There is where the connection string is defined, just adapt it to your needs. 
After this everything should work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Changing the apparence of the web page.

To customize the apparence of the web page you will have to change some files:

style.css --> The styleSheet where the fonts are defined.
header.asp --> Here you can modify the text of the header of the page, where it says:
               "Berlin model Database Testing Access Web Page"
footer.asp --> The footer of all web pages.
menu.asp --> to modify the menu at the left.
query.asp --> There you find the text that appears in the query box.
template_sup.asp --> The only thing you may want to change here is the title of the web page and
               the html headers for all web pages

The rest of the files are web pages of documentation, you can fill them or deleting them.
Default.asp is assumed to be the default file in the web server.
There are some images used in the web page, they can be founded in the images folder.

5. Final notes

It's really good idea to have index in every foreign key and the cache fields in the database or
this tool will run extremly slow. This is due to the big amount of joint that are needed in some
SQL Statement.

All information about the Berlin model can be founded in the BGBM web server:
