 * This is an empty interface, currently there are no business-oriented
 * data access operations for this class. However, preparing the interface
 * means preparing ourself for future changes. That way, no refactoring is
 * necessary should we add methods one day. Note that with a sensible
 * factory, such as the <tt>HibernateDAOFactory</tt>, no concrete implementation
 * of this empty interface is needed, but a parameterized <tt>GenericDAO</tt>
 * for Hibernate can be constructed and used.
