Cards are reusable entities which can be used in different places and products. Therefore the integration of cards can be specific in each scenario. Parameters, actions and data sources should be handled in the hosting environment.
Responsibilities of the host environment
Depending on the specifics of the cards, the hosting environment is responsible to provide additional functionalities.
