Abstract
Methods and apparatuses enable generation of data objects having properties that reflect business understanding and how the data objects are to be used. A user experience data object (“UX object”) is semantically defined by object characteristics including actions, attributes, and relations needed to incorporate the UX object into one or more user interface (UI) contexts. The UI contexts are contexts from which the UX object will be accessed or in which it will be used. One or more UX object usages define object characteristics related to a specific context in which the UX object is to be accessed. A usage has business logic decoupled from the UX object, and is associated with the UX object. The UX object and one or more usages are provided to enable the UX object to be incorporated into a UI component that allows access to the UX object.
