No, you're not doing either. When you build a logical data model, you define
entities by giving them names and properties, and you define the
relationships between those entities. As far as your logical data model is
concerned, you don't have a set of entities within a collection, just the
one representational entity. It's only when you get to your physical data
model that entities become tables, and properties become fields, and
relationships become DRI.
