ozone users API in org.ozoneDB:

	- OzoneInterface	-> Database
				-> ExternalDatabase	-> RemoteDatabase
							-> LocalDatabase
	- OzoneCompatible	-> OzoneObject
	- OzoneRemote		-> OzoneProxy
	- AbstractTransaction	-> ExternalTransaction

ozone kernel in org.ozoneDB.core:

	- Env

	- StoreManager
	- ObjectContainer	-> AbstractObjectContainer
	- ObjectID

	- InvokeServer
	- TransactionManager
	- Transaction
	- Lock			-> SharedLock
				-> ExclusiveLock
				-> MROWLock
	- (to complete the picture the DbCommand package should be included
          here)

This is ozone! All other classes and packages (and there are a lot ;) are
'accessory parts'. If you grok the content of these two packages, then all
other packages are a piece of cake.

To complete the picture maybe the "wizard" backing store in
org.ozoneDB.core.wizardStore, which provides implementation of the StoreManger
and ObjectContainer interfaces, should be included as well:

	- (StoreManger)		-> WizardStore
	- (AbstractObjectContainer) -> WizardObjectContainer
	- ClusterStore
	- Cluster
	
	- DxDiskHashMap		-> IDTable

These two (or maybe three) packages could be the 'core view' as Erwin
requested.
