    1. COIn answer to your question, the data itself doesn't represent a resource in the system (a list of cars, usernames etc), as it can really be anything. BUT the data, however arbitrary, will still fit into a resource to store it, even if the actual data fields don't reflect the original data source directly. Thus, you are correct there! Thus, thinking of it in the terms you have provided me there has answered my question! Thank you!

    2. COGood example - I came across this while learning Rails and made me think "I probably wouldn't have thought of that, but it's obvious when I think about it now!" Milan left some good comments about breaking these ambiguities down to concrete concepts , even if that means you have to explode the steps of what you are doing into more actions than you "need".

    3. COThanks for your reply! Keeping with the CSV parsing example - So, let's assume I upload a CSV file with a header row of fields then arbitrary data following. Then I want to grab all the headers and present them to the user so they can select their fields before an actual data import occurs (the import schema is ambiguous and can differ depending upon the source data). This is where I need to make the decisions "what should I name my controller?", "what action should I use to handle the initial upload view" and "what action should I use to handle the actually uploading and parsing of the CSV"..

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
