two suggestions here:

Just a small note here. Yes, "Configurable Object Models" was the phrase used in DSpace 7 presentation proposals to OR2019 (for "configurable entities"). However, the DSpace 7 Entities Working Group would like feedback from the DSpace 7 Marketing Working Group on whether there is a better term/phrase. There is no "official" name that has been chosen as of yet.
Several of us (myself included) feel that both "configurable entities" and "configurable object models" may not be the best way to describe this new feature. Other brainstormed names have been: "Typed Items", "Complex Items", "Compound Items".
Whatever phrase/term is chosen, we have the opportunity to update the titles/abstracts of any/all DSpace 7 presentations accepted for OR2019.

Sure, whatever choice is made, I just think it is very important that communication becomes consistent
I've put "official" in quotes as OR2019 is one of the first occasions when the topic is presented outside the community (the same name is used for a presentation at the next German User Group Meeting, see: DSpace Anwendertreffen 2019 where "konfigurierbares Objektmodell" is used). And after having talked about entities for years, if object models starts to become popular, then it will become just more difficult to change it again.
Is there a place where we can collect ideas? What about "Context Items"?

Susanna Mornati (4Science) : I know this is already an agenda topic for the next DSpace Marketing Meeting. See: 2019-03-06 DSpace Marketing Working Group. Agenda/Notes
