Hi Xin,
Thanks a lot for giving me the starting point. Those
discussions you started on your application are really valuable for me and
I'm learning a lot from them.
As a start, If we consider only a simple blog first with least

comments and rating.

2. Owner : An existing user
3. Text Content
4. Image Attachments
5. Rate
6. Date created
Image Attachment has
1. ImageID
2. BlogEntryID : Image should be related with exiting blog entry
3. Image : Binary Image
Comment

2. BlogEntryID : Comment should be related with existing blog entry
3. CommenterID : Comment should be made by existing user
4. Comment : A text comment

All the ids used here will have to be unique. And the
specially mentioned fields must have referential integrity.
I would like to have discussion on what are options I have
when I do object content mapping and what are the things I should consider
in more general context . If there are more options what are pros and cons.
I can spend some time on design phase as GSoc officially starts on April 9
and the date scheduled to start coding is May 28. Even though I would start
much before that, I would like to have a in-depth discussion as it would be
good for the new comers to the community.
Thanks a lot,
Nandana
