Domain Model Project

This is a reboot of the ContentModelProject. The Domain Model is concerned with the schemas that describe PIM data in Chandler, including calendars, notes, tasks, email, and contacts. The Domain Model is part of the API used by parcel developers. Individual parcels such as e-mail and calendar might have the primary responsiblity for their slices of the Domain Model. This project is concerned with presenting a uniform and consistent domain model to parcel authors.
