If we revert back to "virtual", I can just perform 6,258 Undos to our documentation and code-base and we'll be good to go :) A "View" model have always been difficult for me. My head works well with "virtual", so my vote would go in the "virtual" column (pun intended).

I would personally like to see the word "view" applied only the way databases do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Nittel" <pnittel(a)redhat.com&gt; To: "teiid-dev" <teiid-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt;, "teiid-designer-dev" <teiid-designer-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Cc: "teiid-users" <teiid-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 1:56:24 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [teiid-dev] What should they be: view or virual models? 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?
