Is there a specific naming convention for a model that will not be stored in the database? For example, i have a schedule which will be a model, but will not be in the database because it is just a data structure. In other words it will not extend ActiveRecord::Base?
I view this as an internal implementation detail; I wouldn’t reflect it in the name, because other models that are interacting with a given model should not know or care whether it is persisted. And your requirements could change later and it would become persisted.
