UITemplate Model - Pablo Pazos

This approach appears to be very compatible, or even a solution to the problem posed above. See the original reference for explanation. A model of UI semantics is proposed in this approach that is the kind of thing proposed above:

In the above, the UITemplate class is probably equivalent to the DATA_SET class in the original proposal; the ZoneContainer class is roughly equivalent to the DATA_GROUP class. The model above supports more than one 'layout' per UI template.

The original proposal was intended to support not only UI/UX but also other retrieval data sets, e.g. extracted messages, documents etc. One way to do this might be to separate the data-set / data-group definition from its presentation - that is to use bother kinds of layers - a simple model of DATA_SET / DATA_GROUP as described earlier, and then a UI_TEMPLATE approach as shown above; a MESSAGE_TEMPLATE could be constructed in the same way but with meta-data oriented to messaging.

According to the original proposal, relevant class in both levels of such a model would inherit from LOCATABLE to make them archetypable, and thus processable by BMM-driven archetype tools.
