[teiid-dev] What should they be: view or virual models?

[Steven Hawkins]

view was the supposedly correct term, but doesn't map exactly to the db world, since view implies table and our "view layer" is a whole schema including procedures.  I would personally like to see the word "view" applied only the way databases do.

Some time, way back in the MetaMatrix days, we changed our nomenclature to refer to "view" instead of "virtual" models. I see the word "virtual" creeping back a bit. Personally, I prefer "virtual" since "view" can be verb-ish. Yes, they are kinda like views in the database world.

Anyway, Jopr lists these models as "virtual". Is that politically correct?
