I suspect they are in the twilight zone between the two in an area the
database world typically
calls a "view". i.e. you have physical tabular structure but all
interactions are performed through
database "views". These are more aggregational than presentational. They go
through a further
binding to create human-oriented presentations.
I had cause recently to muse that the database concept of a "view" is one
of the more
powerful ideas we somehow lost in the headlong rush to XML
content/presentation dualism.
Come back database view technology: all is forgiven
