The Entity Construction Kit (ECK) builds upon Drupal's Entity System (the stuff in core + the contrib module Entity API) to make it more user and developer friendly.
Drupal's Entity System allows us to structure and manipulate our data in a more object oriented and intuitive manner. In short, this is our data management system. ECK particularly helps with data modeling (defining, and structuring our data), and it also facilitates other parts of the data management cycle (creation, viewing, editing, and deletion).
I would like to start this documentation by using a simple example that will help us define and understand terminology useful to work with ECK and drupal in general.
