Hi,
We'd have:
Entity EntityReference EntityType EntityReferenceFactory, EntityReferenceSerializer
I think I prefer it slighty more than Resource. What do others think?
For me "Entity" sounds little bit too generic. I'd prefer "Resource" instead. A "Resource" implies I can use it for something (view, edit, consume etc etc) but "Entity" doesn't give me that feeling (makes me feel like it's something alive!). Anyway, I'm ok with "Entity" if everybody agrees :)
Well Entity is pretty common in modeling (see http://bit.ly/5r2Liw) Also it's used in Entity Bean (Java EE) and is defined as: "An entity bean represents a business object in a persistent storage mechanism. Some examples of business objects are customers, orders, and products" Thanks -Vincent
