Basic eZ publish definitions

content object, content class, content tree...

Content class
eZ publish uses classes to define the structure of your content. You can think of a class as instructions on how to
store one separate content type. For example an article typically consists of an introduction of body and a
picture. These elements of the class are called attributes.

Content object
An object represents one piece of content on your site. Each object is based on one of the classes in the system.
For example, you can create an article based on the article class definition.

Content tree
The content tree is used to organize your data. Each time you create a new object you choose a location for it
within the content tree. For example, you could create an article and place it inside a folder named "News". This
makes it easy to find and navigate your content.
