Description

It should be sufficient to specify a value-type say CalendarEvent to be a compound of already existing value-types (date, time, duration, title, notes) = base-types, without the need of further integration with the UI.

Given all the required information via a ValueSemanticsProvider, the framework should be smart enough to handle:

• property update dialogs (optional - for that to work, we might just require an update action that takes all required base-types as arguments)
• action dialogs (eg. just embed the base-types)
• table columns (eg. just embed the base-types, or as an alternative use value semantics 'rendering')
