You're probably thinking of module definitions. The actual definition is
stored in the global module definitions table, and a new table is
created to hold the module's instance data. 

I am thinking that collections will be stored in their own table where
each row is a new collection and contains some collection data (name,
id, etc.) inherited from class, and an array of connection ids. The
connection ids will reference a connections table that has one row per
connection, where a connection consists of a source port id, and 'n'
destination port ids (in an array). This couples nicely with the
instance host data structures.
