We are building a service-oriented system where we have separated the application into several layers:
- SOAP web services (e.g., BuildingService.asmx)
- Business logic layer (e.g., BuildingXXX)
- Data Access layer (e.g, BuildingProvider)
- Types (e.g., Building)
The SOAP web services simply instantiate an object of type BuildingXXX from the business logic layer in order to keep the implementation out of the SOAP web services. BuildingXXX then uses the BuildingProvider from the data access layer to return types defined in the data transfer object layer.
We have been unable to determine what we should call the objects in the business logic layer.
What is the "standard" naming convention for naming these business level entities?
