-There are three scenarios to consider:
-# (<b>Existing Entities</b>) the database contains the specified entities: the typical scenario where the entities are exposed via a RESTful CRUD application.
-# (<b>Greenfield Entities</b>) the database does <b>not</b> contain the specified entities: the so-called <i>greenfield</i> scenario where the entities do not yet exist on the database.
-# (<b>Meta-data Entities</b>) meta-data describing the specified entities is provided through an alternative mechanism: the scenario where the entities are described via a JPA <tt>.orm</tt> file.
-In its initial phase, DBWS-R will target the <b>Existing Entities</b> scenarios since that will satisfy the first two use cases (the <b>Greenfield Entities</b> scenario becomes a 'trivial' version of <b>Existing Entities</b>)
