Hi,
I'm not a big fan of ObjectDefinition.
I follow up on this, I do not really see the benefit of it, and I really
dislike the idea to have this one in two words, while all others are single.
I would vote 1) or 3) with XObject and XClass.
but I do not like the inconsistency of the above choice, about the X, as
Vincent mentioned.
So I would be more in favor of:
XWikiEntity, XSpaceEntity, XDocumentEntity, XObjectEntity and XClassEntity
while for references we would need to have:
XWikiReference, XSpaceReference, XDocumentReference, XObjectReference and
XClassReference
Having a single X prefixed word for all of them, will favor other
combination in the code, where the initial prefix is that single XWord. It
could also favor clear suffixes as well, in methods when needed. It could
also help in case of future expansion. It allow to be very consistent.

Subject: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Name for Entity classes in the new model
Hi devs,
As you may have seen, I've been working on the new model in a branch.
We need to decide on the naming of the Entity classes (wiki, space,
document, object, object definition, etc).
We have several possibilities I know of for naming them:
1) Wiki, Space, Document, Object, ObjectDefinition
2) WikiEntity, SpaceEntity, DocumentEntity, ObjectDefinitionEntity
3) Wiki, Space, Document, XObject, XObjectDefinition (or simply
ObjectDefinition)
4) XWiki, XSpace, XDocument, XObject, XObjectDefinition
5) Some other name for objects.
Some concerns:
* Using Object as in 1) is a bit of a pain since there's java.lang.Object
which forces to use the FQN name when coding in Java. Which is why I've put
proposals 2) and 3)
* In proposal 3) there's a bit of an inconsistency with the X in XObject
which is not present in the other entity names, hence proposal 4 and 2)
* In proposal 1) there can be some other clashes. For example Document can
clash with the DOM Document object
My personal vote goes to 2), even though it makes the entity names a bit
longer.
Cast your votes!
Thanks
-Vincent
