php - Name for the Strings that Define Magento Class Names -


magento uses factory pattern instantiating objects classes

$model  = mage::getmodel('catalog/product'); //mage_catalog_model_product default $helper = mage::helper('catalog/data');   //mage_catalog_helper_data default 

these strings expanded classnames, , system can configured replace default values.

what are, or should, these strings called? i've been abusing term uri (sometimes tempering abuse phrase "uri-like"), that's not right. "class name" doesn't seem right either, cause confusion (are talking factory class name, or actual php class name?)

anyone have stabs @ authority on this?

this string called class (model, block, helper - depends usage context) alias. alias naming rule is: group/entity.

each module can define own group or define rewrites existing one.
