Establish the structure for core entities. Instead of relying on inheritance hierarchies to provide functionality, build out service classes that integrate with entity classes to provide functionality. Entities can then implement interfaces that correspond to their integration with service-based functionality. Expose hooks into the core functions to allow their functionality to be extended in the event that there are additional steps that need to be taken within the corresponding process of the function (for instance, cleaning up state prior to removal, setting additional properties prior to saving, etc.).
The following preliminary features should be addressed:
All entity classes should derive from a base that facilitates standard CRUD.
An interface that facilitates the association of a staffing token with the corresponding entity.
An interface that provides the ability to aggregate many entities into a container for the purpose of executing a single related action.
An interface that manages interactions for recursively nested relationship structures.
