Data models (and automatic form generation)

[ntoll]

We need to explore a new core concept: data model.

A data model uses properties to define the shape of commonly used data structures in an application. (Something akin to a Django model?). From such models could be generated automagically forms to use in the UI. Perhaps we can re-use the properties from the UI layer?

Given the auto-generation of forms, we need to figure out the story around form validation, and the handling of a submitted form.
