Essentially we have a design wherein the concept of a legal entity predominates and then those entities are assigned "roles" such as client, vendor, employee. etc. As part of the prototyping process we have a requirement to create and delete these instances by hand, independent of any role. The decision is not yet made whether this capability will be required, or even desired, in the finished system; although I rather suspect that it will persist if only as an administrator's tool. Nonetheless, in this particular case it is coded, it works, and I have chosen it to begin learning the process of BDD/TDD here. I realize however that nomenclature can have a very large impact on how a conceptual expression develops and so I am most interested in seeing whether there exists a better way to describe this. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
