The flexibility of component metadata (CMDI) brings about a need for editing tools which are equall y flexible. Moreover, such tools should be as user friendly as possible in order to lower the threshold for beginners and to promote efficiency even for advanced users. The current paper presents COMEDI, a new web-based editor which handles any CMDI profile. We evaluate currently existing metadata editors and argue that the COMEDI editor is the first one to combine a good level of user-friendliness with sufficient support for CMDI. COMEDI also offers up to date support for CLARIN features such as current license types.
