!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [thing] with distinct and independent existence such as a [Natural Person], [Organization], concept, or [device].
You will undoubtedly find many definitions for [{$pagename}]. [{$applicationname}] has tried to put some we have discovered and are appropriate for our [context]
[{$pagename}] may also have a [Digital Identity], [Application], [data], etc.
[{$pagename}] is a [resource] of any kind that can be uniquely and independently identified.
[{$pagename}] is something that exists as itself, as a subject or as an object, actually or potentially, concretely or abstractly, physically or not. An [{$pagename}] need not be of material existence. In particular, abstractions and [Legal Fictions] are usually regarded as entities. In general, there is also no presumption that an [{$pagename}] is animate, or present.[1]
[{$pagename}] will have some type of [Identifier]
The [National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace] ([NSTIC]) defines some terms similar to those defined here:
* "An individual is a person engaged in an online transaction. Individuals are the first priority of the Strategy."
* "A [non-person entity] ([NPE]) may also require [authentication] in the [Identity Ecosystem]. [NPEs] can be organizations, hardware, networks, software, or services and are treated much like individuals within the Identity Ecosystem. NPEs may engage in or support a transaction."
* "The subject of a transaction may be an individual or an [NPE]."
Some examples:
* [People|Personal Entity]
* [Services|Non-person entity]
* [non-person entity]
* [Organizational Entity]
** [Government Entity]
** [Business Entity]
** [Non-Governmental Entities|Non-Governmental Entity] ([NGO])
[{$pagename}] is defined in [ISO 29115] as "Something that has separate and distinct existence and that can be identified in a [Context]"
!! [Domain-Driven Design]
[{$pagename}] is an object that is not defined by its [attributes], but rather by a thread of continuity and its identity.
[Domain-Driven Design] [{$pagename}] [Example]:
* Most [airlines] distinguish each seat uniquely on every flight. Each seat is an [{$pagename}] in this [Context].
* However, Southwest Airlines, EasyJet and Ryanair do not distinguish between every seat; all seats are the same. In this [Context], a seat is actually a [Value Object].
