There’s a need for web pages to be defined in which view it is in and in which type of container the whole view is in.
In this regard I am using ui-view--<view name> and ui-cr--<container name> (cr short for container).
UI View
UI View is the representation of the totality of the page or screen the user is in. Common examples of this is the Sign In screen of web apps, Dashboard, or Home views.
Example: If you are on the Terms & Conditions page or a web site, you could classify it as:
<div class="ui-view--terms-conditions">
UI Container
UI Container, on the other hand, is the type of user interface that contains the components or even the whole view (in this case, it is usually called screen or page).
Example: Using the example above, the page is contained in some sort of container – it is usually contained in a page or screen. For the sake of being device-agnostic, I would define it as screen – it being displayed thru a screen.
<div class="ui-cr--screen">
Other types of UI Containers are:
- screen
- dialog box
- drawer
- panel
- pop-over
- overlay
Erratum
In my entry, UI Type and State Class Naming Convention, I used UI Type to define a dialog box – while in this entry, I used dialog box as one of the standard UI Containers.
I am now using UI Type to define a specific UI – something that one invents and not a standard in the community. For example, you’ve created a three-column panel that slides one by one – you could dub it as “three-col-panel” thus <div class="ui-type--three-col-panel">
UI Container is a modifier – once you’ve added this class to a component, it modifies its standard structure to take the form of the said container. The same can be said for UI Type, but what it modifies is the whole view, including the containers. Simply put, you may be in Terms & Conditions view, and while it is contained in a screen or page, once you’ve added a three-column-panel UI Type, the layout transforms into a three-column type of layout.

It’s very easy to number versions (e.g.,version 1, version 2, version 2.0) – it’s linear and you could place decimal points for smaller versions.
However, it’s boring. That’s why the likes of Microsoft, Android, WordPress (and a lot more) dub their versions or releases around a theme.
Let me introduce to you song titles from Gallagher Brothers’ bands (Oasis, Beady Eye, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds).
But with a twist – to give it state-of-the-art, 21st century, electronic and digital age treatment (I won’t put an “e” or “i” as prefix nor remove any vowel before “r”), I will capitalize the letter of the second word found in a compound word. In case of two-word song title, I will compound them with the same capitalization (e.g., ChampagneSupernova).
HopScotch 3 is “WonderWall”.
The world is expected to grow 3.2 percent in 2015 and 3.7 percent next year after expanding 3.3 percent in each of the past two years, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. China, the Philippines, Kenya, India and Indonesia, which together make up about 16 percent of global gross domestic product, are all forecast to grow more than 5 percent in 2015.

I’m currently researching on how to design the content structure of article bylines – that section wherein you see the author’s name and the date the article was published.
The byline on a newspaper or magazine article gives the date, as well as the name of the writer of the article.
Byline from Wikipedia

The main idea behind generic class names is to have a standard naming convention for common HTML patterns and attaching it to specific class names.
For example, here’s a simple HTML markup of Skip Link component:
<div class="comp skip-link_comp">
<a class="skip-link_axn" href="#content">Skip to content</a>
</div><!-- skip-link_comp -->Notice that there are two generic class names attached to specific class names:
- comp – short for component
- axn – short for action
Only comp is suggested to have a separate class name for CSS debugging purposes.
The syntax is: specific-name_generic-name
List of Generic Class Names
- comp – component
- cr – container
- ct – content
- hr – header
- name – title or heading
- desc – description
- grp – group or parent of number of items
- item – part of a number of items
- accessible-name – official name
- friendly-name – custom displayed name
- nav – navigation
- nav-grp
- nav-item
- axn – action
- axn-grp
- axn-item
- notice – notification message
- datetime – time
- sep – separator, divider
- label
- pred_label – (predicate) verb part of a label or phrase; e.g., in the phrase “Edit Entry”, “Edit” is the predicate
- subj_label – (subject) noun part of a label or phrase; in the example above, “Entry” is the subject
- prep_label – preposition
- verb_label
- noun_label
- adj_label
- form
- field
- field_cr
- field-axn
- field-axn_cr
- colon_label
- comma_label
