+## Data
+
+EmberData treats data "opaquely" meaning that any data format will work so long as you are able to describe to the library
+how that data fits into various concepts (usually this is done by implementing a [Cache](https://api.emberjs.com/ember-data/release/classes/%3CInterface%3E%20Cache)).
+
+Below, we describe the semantic meaning of these more opaque concepts.
+
+### Resource
+
+A resource is a unit of discretely identifiable data.
+
+Usually resources map to things like rows in a database
+with their "type" being derived from the table name.
+
+Discretely identifiable means that given some data, your
+app would consistently be able to identify the source of
+that data and meaningfully distinguish it from other data.
+
+For instance, in the following JSON we have two distinct
+resources:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "users": [
+    { "id": 1, "name": "Chris" }, // => resource 1
+    { "id": 2, "name": "Rey" } // => resource 2
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+#### Resource Types
+
+Every resource has a string "type". All resources with the same
+type are assumed to have the same [schema](#scema).
+
+Types can represent polymorphic traits.
+
+For instance, imagine your API has the notion of an `automobile` resource. Automobiles have an id, a number of wheels, and a name.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "automobiles": [
+    { "id": 1, "wheels": 4, "name": "Rivian R1T" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+However, every specific automobile belongs to a more specialized type. For instance "pickup" which has the additional [fields](#field) of `length` and `4wd` and "racecar" which has the additional field of `topspeed`.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "pickups": [
+    {
+      "id": 1,
+      "wheels": 4,
+      "name": "Rivian R1T",
+      "length": "12ft",
+      "4wd": true
+    }
+  ],
+  "racecars": [
+    {
+      "id": 2,
+      "wheels": 4,
+      "name": "Mazda 787B",
+      "topspeed": { "value": 258, "unit": "mph" }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+In this case, we can refer to both type `pickup` and type `racecar` as satisfying type `automobile`. We refer to `pickup` and `racecar` as "concrete types" and to `automobile` as an `abstract type`. For more, read about [polymorphism in depth](./relationships/features/polymorphism.md).

+
+## Relationships
+
+### Inverse
+
+The "inverse" of a relationship is the compound key generated by considering both the [type](#resource-types) and the `name` of the matching [field](#field) on the related [resource](#resource) .
+
+E.g. if Users have Pets and Pets have Owners, then the
+inverse of the field `user.pets` is `pet.owners`, and the inverse of `pet.owners` is similarly `user.pets`.
+
+> **Note** `to-none` relationships have no inverse. We often refer to this as a `null inverse`.
+
+### Self Referential
+
+Self referential relationships are relationships that point back at the same resource type.
+
+E.g. if a Person has parents and children, the link between `person.parents` and `person.children` is self-referential because both sides belong to the `person` resource type.
+
+### Reflexive
+
+Reflexive relationships are self-referential relationships that point back at the same property in addition to the same type.
+
+For instance, if a User has friends, where `user.friends` is its own inverse.
+
+### Circular
+
+A circular relationship is a self-referential or reflexive relationship for which the *value* is the same on both sides.
+
+For instance, if Ego is his own best friend, then `ego.bestFriend === ego`
+
+### Polymorphic
+
+Polymorphic relationsips can be satisfied by multiple resource types. For instance, a user may have many vehicles, and each vehicle might be of type `car` or `boat` or `airplane` etc.
