-Action Record
+Active Record connects classes to relational database tables to establish an
+almost zero-configuration persistence layer for applications. The library
+provides a base class that, when subclassed, sets up a mapping between the new
+class and an existing table in the database. In the context of an application,
+these classes are commonly referred to as models. Models can also be connected
+to other models; this is done by defining associations.
 
-In Rails, the model is handled by what's called a object-relational
-mapping layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present
-the data from database rows as objects and embellish these data objects
-with business logic methods.
+Active Record relies heavily on naming in that it uses class and association
+names to establish mappings between respective database tables and foreign key
+columns. Although these mappings can be defined explicitly, it's recommended to
+follow naming conventions, especially when getting started with the library.
