An Entity is a generic concept that may represent a physical, digital, or abstract kind of thing. For example, a data record or a physical piece of equipment may both be considered Entities.
An Entity has the following core properties: o wasDerivedFrom: the wasDerivedFrom property indicates that the Entity was derived from some other Entity. This may occur in cases of revisions (e.g. of documents), or in cases where one entity is used in the creation of another. For example, the results of some predictive model may be derived from some dataset). o wasAttributedTo: the wasAttributedTo property identifies the Agent(s) that is in some way responsible for the creation of the Entity. o wasGeneratedBy: the wasGeneratedBy property identifies the Activity(s) that produced or otherwise resulted in the existence of the Entity.
