Confused between the different objects in software development.

May 9 2012 1:59 PM

I have a basic understanding of the difference between a DTO and Business Objects... but in my research, I've been running across several other terms which I have a hard time understanding:

Domain Object

Domain Model

Entity

Business Entity

Data Contract

Also...a question with regards to the Data Layer...is a Data Access Component equivalent, in terms of functionality and purpose, to a Data Access Object ?

Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,

Jeff
