Entity Type

Entity Type

The entity type defines what kind of a thing are we dealing with. An entity is any thing which (a) can have changes occur to it and (b) can be uniquely identified so we additionally need to state what type of a thing it is.

The name of the entity type must be unique within its Domain - however it is possible for entities in different domains to have the same name (for example the Customer entity type might legitimately be found in the Ordering domain and the same name be used in the Delivery domain)
