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_datamodel
http://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.

Cheers
Bruce
