I'm guessing from your 2nd post that you've since read through it some more,
but here is the elevator pitch:

An entire application, all of it, can be described entirely in terms of what
must go into the database. That description (of the database) can be
turned into a purely descriptive configuration file. The spec for the
config file is this link:

http://www.secdat.com/dev/androspec.html

That descriptive file is fed into a builder that creates the database,
including tables, groups, constraints and automations. The builder also
generates client code.

So what attracted me to your OP was your suggestion for the standardization
of installs and user/group admin. We go way beyond groups into tables,
columns, formulas, and anything in fact required to specify the app. The
builder then makes the app for you. Without claiming it is any kind of
standard, it is a definitely an application configurator available now.
