Package org.hibernate.metamodel.domain Description

This package defines metadata modeling of a logical domain model. Specifically note that this package does not in any way attempt to encapsulate data modeling information such cardinality or associations. Also note that the top-level logical model is represetation (entity-mode) agnostic.
