Title: LPS-33427 - Related quote: There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things (by Phil Karlton)

Brian, this is the rationale of choosing "classType" as the most suitable name: we're trying to find a common term to describe the type you can apply to articles (implemented through DDMStructures) and to file entries (implemented through DLFileEntryType). So we need an abstract enough name to refer both of them.

For me AssetRendererFactory is pretty similar and "classType" is used there with the same meaning.

So, you ok with "classType" for the sake of consistency?
If not, any idea to name such an abstract thing? (:

Thanks!
