[DAS TERMINOLOGY] EMF vs. SDO

Hey Guys,

I've been mixing terminology throughout the
design guide trying to communicate
both from an EMF perspective and SDO
perspective.

SDO has simple and complex properties,
that correspond to EAttributes and EReferences
in EMF.

An SDO Type is an EClass in EMF (Java Class).

An EClass has a set of EStructuralFeatures,
that can be broken down into subsets of
EAttributes, and EReferences.

I think it's simpler to just use the EMF API
in the design guide language, since I personally
think it has a cleaner and more exhaustive way
of breaking down a model instance.

So I'm just going to use the EMF terms for now,
providing a page with corresponding SDO terms,
and we can customize further later.

Cheers,
- Ole
