What are the BLAF Guidelines?
      
The BLAF Guidelines are a set of specifications regarding common UI components, 
        templates, flows, and general heuristics. These specifications should 
        be used to develop html-based Oracle products to provide a consistent 
        user experience regarding look and feel of applications, flow of applications, 
        layout of pages, and interaction of components. Using the guidelines to 
        design your application will also ensure a consistent suite of applications 
        and tight product intergration.
      
The specifications are arranged in levels or layers, the outer most layer 
        being high level interaction model, to the inner most level of a specific 
        component. There are also overarching principles that are present within 
        all the guidelines. 
      
See the Introduction to BLAF 
        UI Guidelines to get familiar with the structure and levels of guidelines.
