Answer 1

Your question is not really clear, but when you want to look at the standard onet.xmlor webtemp.xml files you just have to check the 15-hive.

The onet.xml for the Standard Team site is located under:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPlATE\SiteTemplates\sts\xml

Two important notes about this: Under SiteTemplates you actually find all of the Standard Site templates. sts in this case represents the team site. You might also want to check out the features folder to see all of the supplied features.

Based on the STS-template you can create your own template and take ideas from the standard.

To see all available site templates and their names try the following in PowerShell:

get-spweb http://<yoursharepoint> | %{$_.GetAvailableWebTemplates(1033)} | select title, name

I get the following output:

As you can see, "Document Center" is BDR#0, hence the path is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\BDR
