A Business Object is generally a part of the Domain Model (see http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/domainModel.html). A Data Transfer Object is a data "object" used to transfer information to/from a remote system (see http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataTransferObject.html). I highly recommend Martin Fowler's book, "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture."
