Entity Profiles

Entity Profiles define the canonical node classes admitted by the domain, their identity keys, alias handling, merge rules and confidence-aware resolution behavior.

Canonical Entity Class Graph

Typical domain entity classes grouped around the shared identity substrate.

Identity Resolution Flow

Resolution must move from raw references to canonical entities under declared confidence rules.

Entity Profile Requirements

Aspect	What must be declared	Operational effect
Class definition	Canonical node type, required fields and intended meaning.	Determines admissible instances and validation rules.
Identity keys	Primary identifiers, alternate identifiers and composite keys.	Enables deterministic or probabilistic matching.
Alias policy	Synonyms, historical names, language variants.	Supports controlled identity reconciliation.
Resolution rules	Thresholds, match evidence, tie-break logic and manual review conditions.	Prevents silent over-merging or duplicate proliferation.
Confidence treatment	How uncertain matches are stored and surfaced.	Supports governed ambiguity rather than false certainty.
