class Work(db.Model):
  """Model of a Work created by one or more Authors.

  Work is a "base entity" of other more specific "works" created by "authors".

  A Work entity participates in a number of relationships:

   proposal), survey), documentation)
     a 1:1 relationship with each entity containing a more specific type of
     "work".  These relationships are represented explicitly in the other
     "work" models by a db.ReferenceProperty named 'work'.  The collection_name
     argument to db.ReferenceProperty should be set to the singular of the 
     entity model name of the other "work" class.  The above relationship
     names correspond, respectively to these Models:
       Proposal, Survey, Documentation

   authors)  a many:many relationship with Authors, stored in a separate
     WorksAuthors model.  See the WorksAuthors model class for details.

   reviews)  a 1:many relationship between a Work and the zero or more
     Reviews of that Work.  This relation is implemented as the 'reviews'
     back-reference Query of the Review model 'reviewed' reference.

  title:  required db.StringProperty indicating the "title" of the work,
    which may have different uses depending on the specific type of the work.
    Works can be indexed, filtered, and sorted by 'title'.

  abstract:  db.TextProperty used for different purposes, depending on the
    specific type of the work.
  """
  title = db.StringProperty(required=True)

  abstract = db.TextProperty()
