I think this is well spread out among many sources
I could urge you to read the best source, the source :)
There are years of docs and forum discussions which help too but less directly,
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_9/concepts_and_basics/content_and_design http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/reference/database_diagram http://ez.no/community/forum/general/ez_publish_datamodelhttp://www.eznor.com/var/forum/storage/images/ressurser/ez_publish_datamodell/ez_publish_datamodell/1383-2-nor-NO/ez_publish_datamodell.png
I point out the db diagram cause remember eZ Publish 3 is based on the use of persistent objects. I seem to remember seeing a much better diagram with relationships but where it exists escapes me atm.

Hi
I can't believe that Heath missed the doxygen API documentation :)http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/index.html
(Mostly?) Anything with a database table will have eZPersistantObject as a parent http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/classeZPersistentObject.html Understanding this class is a good place to start. Especially look at the definition method & understand function attributes. http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/classeZPersistentObject.html#b507c40150f7f749a092ad0b7fcb5df5
If you are looking at the content module you'll want to look at eZContentObject http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/classeZContentObject.html eZContentObjectTreeNode (nodes)http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/classeZContentObjectTreeNode.html
There isn't a lot of deep inheritance mostly alot of interlocking classes.
