Take a look at django.  The tutorial takes a couple of hours and gives
you a good feel for whether it would suit you.

You could say its overkill, but it makes it very easy to do CRUD stuff
with validation built in.  Displaying the results would be very easy
as well.  You could have your data providers input the data directly
