Topic

Topics define a controlled vocabulary of terms applicable to some entities, such as companies and people. They describe categories of journalistic interest which may apply to the given entity, for example if a given person is a criminal or a politician.

Besides the informative value, topics are ultimately supposed to bear fruits in the context of graph-based data analysis, where they would enable queries such as find all paths between a government procurement award and a politician.

Matchable types allow properties to be compared with each other in order to assess entity similarity.

Pivot types are a stronger form of matchable types and can be used to find similar entities based on simple value lookups.
