Entity Guidance
entity is the type for concrete things: codebases, systems, tools, technologies or people.
Entities are the primary building blocks of the knowledge graph.
When to use
- Representing a codebase - a repository, library or application as code
- Documenting a running system, service or infrastructure component
- Describing a CLI tool, utility or software library
- Recording information about a language, a framework or a protocol
- Documenting a person, a team or an organization
When NOT to use
- For abstract concepts, patterns or methodologies (use
concept) - For source documents or ingested material (use
source) - For comparative analyses (use
comparison)
Authoring guidance
- The title is the entity's canonical name and follows the subject's established designation, not the KB language (
kb/CONTRACT.md§ "Titles are identifiers",kb/CONVENTIONS.md§§ "Naming" and "Language") - The main description goes near the top
- Link to related entities and concepts wherever relationships exist
- Under
provenance: sourcedormixed, back hard facts inline with a[^cite-id]footnote -tools/wikitool cite add --page "<Title>" --source "Source - X"mints the id and its definition - Wikipedia register: factual, neutral, no marketing language
Relevant Notes:
- Entity pages form the concrete inventory of the knowledge base
- Every entity type (codebase, system, tool and so on) is a variant of this base type
- The relationships between entities carry the knowledge graph's interconnection
