Further Reading
For people new to object-relational mapping and (object-oriented) domain models we recommend the following literature:
The books by Martin Fowler cover a lot of the basic ORM terminology, the different approaches of modeling business logic and the patterns involved.
Another good read is about Domain Driven Design. Though serious Domain-Driven Design is currently not possible with Doctrine, this is an excellent resource for good domain modeling, especially in complex business domains, and the terminology around domain models that is pretty widespread nowadays is explained in depth (Entities, Value Objects, Repositories, etc).
