+Atomicity Consistency Isolation Durability} compliant database for Python with
+a high degree of transparency.  @code{ZODB} is an object-oriented database,
+not an object-relational mapping.  This comes with several advantaged:
+
+@itemize
+@item no separate language for database operations
+@item very little impact on your code to make objects persistent
+@item no database mapper that partially hides the database.
+@item almost no seam between code and database.
