kb/entities/ - Collection Contract
Concrete things that exist: a project, a deployed system, a CLI tool, a technology, a person or an organization. If it can be pointed at, it is an entity.
Quality goal: pointability + currency - a reader should come away knowing what the thing is, where it actually is, and whether that is still true. An entity page that describes a system correctly but names no host, path, version or status has not earned its keep.
Inherits kb/CONTRACT.md for the rules the stack enforces - linking mechanics, provenance, citation, the confidence machinery - and kb/CONVENTIONS.md for what this instance decided: language, naming forms, tone, relationship labels, the confidence rubric. Neither is restated here.

Types offered
entity (tools/wikitool types describe entity). The entity_type: field selects the area:
| Area | Holds |
|---|---|
codebases/ |
Codebases, named after their repository or common name |
systems/ |
Deployed and running systems, given a descriptive name |
tools/ |
CLI and desktop tools, named as the tool names itself |
technologies/ |
Protocols, languages, formats, in their standard spelling and capitalization |
people/ |
People, by full name or common handle |
organizations/ |
Companies, public bodies, associations and their departments, by the name they use themselves |
These are areas, not collections: they inherit this contract and carry no COLLECTION.md.
Per-area emphasis
- Codebases - purpose, status, language/stack, owner, repository, dependencies on other codebases and systems, architectural decisions.
- Systems - purpose, components, dependencies, configuration locations, deployment, operational status, monitoring.
- Technologies - purpose, use cases, trade-offs, version compatibility, which projects and systems use it.
- Tools - purpose, installation, usage, notable options, which projects use it.
- People - role, affiliation, and the projects or decisions they are connected to. Nothing personal beyond what the source states.
- Organizations - what kind of body it is, what it stands to this wiki as (client, supplier, vendor), and the people in it - see below.
People live on their organization's page until they earn their own
A person whose source material is a name, a role and a field of work does not get a page: that
page would restate its own title, which is worse than the mention it came from (wiki-ingest
step 7). They get a ### section under the ## Personen heading of their organization's page
instead - role, field of work, one to three lines. The organization page is then the grouping a
directory level cannot be, and it sits inside the size a page should have rather than a dozen
stubs below it.
A person is promoted to a page of their own once a source carries material for one. Their
section shrinks to one line with a [[wikilink]], their page carries member-of to the
organization, and every edge and anchor link that meant them moves to the new page. The steps are
instructions/page-lifecycle.md § "Promote a section to its
own page"; wikitool lint reports an anchor link left pointing at the vanished section as
broken_anchors.
Until then, a person is reached through their organization: a project page's edge points at the
organization (consults: Kunde X), and the prose names the person as [[Kunde X#Anna Müller]].
An organization that outgrows its page - by Split Threshold, roughly 120-150 lines - splits off
a department or site as an organization page of its own, linked part-of the parent.
Authorised labels
The outbound: block above is what wikitool lint and xref add check: which labels a page in
this collection may use, per destination. The catalogue they are drawn from - and what each one
asserts - is instructions/link-taxonomy.md, which binds
nothing on its own.
Operational labels dominate here because an entity's relationships are mostly to other concrete things. implements points out to a concept; the concept does not point back unless that direction is a statement of its own.
Three of these carry a caveat this area produces more often than the others. authored belongs
on a person page pointing at what they made, and it is the label a dead or departed creator
takes - owns claims someone answers for the thing now. alternative-to is self-dual and is
written once per pair, never from both ends: a set of interchangeable tools is where a
mirrored clique grows fastest. derived-from and adapted-from are here for the fork and the
re-implementation - one tool worked up out of another - which is a lineage claim the operational
labels cannot make.
involves and owned-by are the participation labels, and they run the other way from
authored/owns/maintains: written on the codebase or system, pointing at the person or
organization - [Codebase] involves [Person]. involves is the contributor who neither answers
for the thing nor keeps it running; take maintains or owns from the person's side when one of
those is true instead. owned-by is owns read from the thing's side - write whichever page a
reader would ask the question on, not both by reflex.
member-of runs from a person page to the organization they belong to, and only from a person
who has been promoted to a page (see above) - everyone else is a section on that organization's
page already. It is not part-of: a department is a component of its company, a person is not,
and part-of stays for the department or site split off an organization that outgrew its page.
Adding a label here is a deliberate contract change, not a way around a refusal.
Outbound linking
An entity links to the technologies it uses, the systems it runs on, the projects that depend on it, and the concepts it implements.
An entity that mentions a concept without linking it is incomplete; the concept page is where the why lives, and the entity page should not restate it.
What does not belong here
- A pattern, protocol, architecture or decision - those are concepts, even when only one entity uses them.
- A page about a source document - that is a
sourcepage inkb/sources/. - Singular naming is required:
HA Integration.md, notHA Integrations.md.
