Then we might want to extend this to include relationships between different types of entities, and whether or not they are required, many-to-many, etc. (e.g. a person can have zero or more siblings but a sample must relate to exactly one patient.) > Can anyone think of a good name for the Java class representing this > thing? We cannot call it Patient anymore for sure. > Here are my top 3, each with pros and cons (not ranked): Entity - Very generic, somewhat descriptive, rather vague. TrackerEntity - Nice and specific, although 5 syllables is a lot. Tracked - A thing that is tracked. 1 syllable! perhaps too cryptic? Are we thinking of making "Program" into a user-configurable object as well? (either the same type of object that a "Person" could be, or a different type of object.) Then we can allow the user to define sensible relationships between Person and Program and/or between lab Sample and SampleFlow, or whatever else they need.
