The UI architecture module uses the core runtime architecture module. It provides APIs that are used by the other modules and platforms. 

This ADR does not specify the owner of this new architecture module. However, as a separate module, it can be assigned ownership independently of the other core services.

## Status

ACCEPTED

## Consequences

- Introduce the module and move the services and their implementations.
