What is the UX definition of a View?

The term "view" is used a lot in UX. In programming it often refers specifically to a user interface element associated with a model (e.g. in MVC or MV* frameworks). But I've heard it used in other contexts in UX, e.g. user view vs admin view of a website...where it relates to role rather than a model.

  • Is there a canonical or other well articulated definition for View from a UX perspective.
  • If not, is there any form of consistency around how to use the term as a UX designer?
