I hope I got the sense of your question.... you can create embedded
documents using JSON

update #9:0 set foo = {"a":1, "b":"C"}

and modify them with dot notation

update #9:0 set foo.a = 2

you can find the databases folder in the root OrientDB folder, the one
where you installed to.
Graph and Document databases are identical, except for the presence of V
and E classes in the graph database (if you have a document database, you
can enable it to graph just with a  CREATE CLASS V and CREATE CLASS E)

linked_type and linked_class specify add details about link types.
eg. if you declare a property as LINK, you can specify which is the class
it links to (linked_class).
The same is for LINKLIST, LINKSET and LINKMAP
embedded_* type properties can contain complex objects (linked_class) or
base types, like strings or numbers (linked_type)

That's just another name for your class, that you can use in your queries.
You can change a class alias with this syntax:

ALTER CLASS YourClassName SHORTNAME YourAlias

from that point on, the query

SELECT FROM YourClassName

will be the same as

SELECT FROM YourAlias
