Markus Moser 71e3443e0e Fix permalink to represent its current dir
Otherwise the picture cant be found, as the jekyll build process will put this file in a 'dm' directory and the other stuff like resources in a 'data-mapper' directory (because resources dont have permalink specified they are served static)

## Intent
A layer of mappers that moves data between objects and a database while keeping them independent of each other and the mapper itself
![alt text](./etc/data-mapper.png "Data Mapper")
## Applicability
Use the Data Mapper in any of the following situations
* when you want to decouple data objects from DB access layer
* when you want to write multiple data retrieval/persistence implementations
