> skeuomorphic

No, skeuomorphism involves ornamental details, which are at best hints about how something is to be used.

How you break-down the responsibilities of your system and name them is much much more important than that.

I agree it's not the best word for it, but what I meant is that the elements are made to look and behave similar to their real-life or conceptual analogues. Think of it mostly as the software UI skeuomorphism: we are able to recognize the functions of the software faster because it is designed to look like something we know.
