Entity Types

`entity_type`

SQL table: MASTER.ENTITY_TYPE Reference table of all entity types recognised in the Factbase/GINC framework. Each row defines one type of first-class object (e.g. Nation, Capability, Organisation, Paper) and provides the three-letter ENTITY_TYPE_ID code that is embedded in every Factbase URI (factbase.org/<entity_type_id>/<slug>). Use this table as an index to understand what categories of data exist, which brand is responsible for maintaining them, and how they are grouped by area.
