What do 'bt' and 'at' in front of table names in the database stand for?

Permalink
I am curious as to what the prefixes to many of the table names in the C5 database stand for. Specifically 'bt' and 'at'?

Block Table perhaps?

And...well...Another Table maybe?

Is there any reason to keep using 'bt' and 'at'? There doesn't seem to be as I am using a different naming scheme for my block tables but just thought I would ask.

Thanks.

bt = block type
at = attribute type

What does "ccm" stand for? I see that as a prefix before a lot of CSS classes.

Concrete Content Management perhaps?

could stand for a lot of things- core content management, core concrete5 management, but its just supposed to make it so you don't style anything inadvertently.

I don't like inexactitude in my understanding of someone else's code but I guess in this case...well...I'll have to live with it LOL.

There's lots of that in the code that's for sure.

Thanks 12345j.
