* Do not include artifacts of the current communication pattern for one type. I.e. if you currently send events of images, your type must not be @ImageEvent@, but solely @Image@, as the @Image@ type might later be reused in an RPC communication.

h2. Directory Layout
10 1 J. Moringen
11 1 J. Moringen
The current policy for filenames of data definitions in RST is as follows:
12 1 J. Moringen
* The directory (relative to the "proto" directory in the project root) in which the proto-file resides should match the package name with all "."s replaced with "/"s
13 1 J. Moringen
* The filename should match the name of the "primary" message definition (with ".proto" appended)
14 1 J. Moringen
* There should only be one "primary" message definition in each proto-file
15 2 J. Wienke
** Groups of related messages should reside in individual files and refer to each other using @import@
16 2 J. Wienke
* directory names are all lowercase

h2. Rationale
19 1 J. Moringen
20 1 J. Moringen
* Facilitate easy documentation and reuse via @import@
21 1 J. Moringen
* Data definitions can be treated as resources with unique URLs
22 1 J. Moringen
** These URLs can be derived from a qualified message name
