Entity is the "atom" of information within Zet Universe. It incapsulates information about any kind of the everyday things like people, documents, e-mail, and so on.

A special property, Kind, is used to characterize the semantic meaning of the particular Entity. Entities are extracted and/or derived from the provided data sources or emergent from collections of entities and properties.

While Entity is a practical implementation of the Zet Universe foundational data type, Kind could be seen as both a classification term used to describe a particular Entity, and as an element of the ontology which is a mechanism used to build a categorization of the everyday things, as well as the specific domains (think Customers in CRM).

Kinds are flexible representations of both every day and enterprise-specific things: people, organizations, places, events, media, etc.
