Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Augmenting acs_objects - adding package_id, name, and clarifying other fields

I do use 1:many, but then again its still a bit unconventional.  But of course the object is created by a single package only.

Its a notion of packageless objects.  Basically a content item may be manipulated and/or displayed by different packages.  In an analogy.  In Windows we have a text file.  The text file can be edited by Notedpad, Wordpad or Word.  It would not care which package uses it.  As long as the package supports the content type and object type.  It should do just fine.

Anyway its not conventional, but I hope it provides some input about less package centric objects.
