Data Model: definition of Top-Level objects?
PostPosted:10 Jan 2014, 17:21
I thouhgt about this question:
Which objects of our Data model can exists "alone", which means without a "parent" object.
This question is important, because when you enter new data (be it Games, Persons, Release-Infos etc) you must start with a "Top-Level object" and then you can add "sub objects" to thast top-level object.
I came to the conclusion, that in our data model so far, these objects are "top-level" objects:
Any suggestions or comments on these thoughts?

- Game
- GamingEnvironment
- HardwarePlatform
- SoftwarePlatform
- Company
- Person
- Language
- Region
- GameTitle (one can belong to multiple games, so you must be able to add/edit them "standalone")
Any suggestions or comments on these thoughts?
More will follow soon, of course.
