Stephen: Let my try to be clearer. What is "asking for data" is the guts of the application, which is the middle tier - the business object. In the other direction, the business object has to "ask for guidance", from the user. This is done by displaying a form to the user and seeing what actions he/she takes. It is not terribly difficult to define the information to be displayed and the legal responses independently of the design of the display; in other words, the interface between the UI tier and the business object. With a good interface design, two different people could develop two different UI modules, one for the desktop and one for a Web page, that used the identical interface. (And then a third one for a phone or an iPad!) My point is that the "application", i.e., the business tier and the data, don't care how you communicate with the user. I wasn't confusing data with GUI, I was trying to point out an analogy in the structures. Sorry if I didn't say it too well.
