Owen, This is a simple idea to create an external interface for an Hobo application that displays the meta-data of every table.
One can create a new route for every model that points to an auto- generated view. Or to simplify, a in a single XML file, to simplify the access. This view should contain the meta-data of the corresponding table in XML format. This can easily turn into a plug-in available to every Rails application. For example, I currently use a plug-in to annotate the models and another to generate a simple ERD of my database (annotate_models and visualize_models). That makes me wonder... maybe there is already something out there.
