| ### Adding Semantic Context to Golden Records | |
| ### Adding semantic context to golden records |
| The entity type provides **metadata**, such as a display name, icon, and descriptions, adding a semantic layer to golden records. | ||
|
|
||
| An entity type always starts with a slash (/). CluedIn has a nested hierarchy of entity types that are separated by slashes. For example, “/Sales/Deal” indicates that the “Deal” entity type is a child of the “Sale” entity type. No newline at end of file | ||
| Golden records sharing the same entity type inherently share the same "semantic meaning." |

| Golden records sharing the same entity type inherently share the same semantic meaning. |
| When defining entity types, it’s essential to balance specificity and genericness. Use terminology familiar to your line of business (LOB) to help identify records intuitively. | ||

| Tip: CluedIn is flexible—if you choose an initial entity type that needs adjustment, you can change it. However, changing entity types mid-project can be cumbersome, especially if deduplication projects, rules or streaming configurations have already been applied. |

| #### Benefits of Nested Entity Types | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Grouping Filters**: Nested entity types allow you to filter or stream entities collectively. | ||
| For instance, using a filter such as starts with /Document would include all documents, regardless of their specific sub-entity type. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. **Streamline Reporting**: Nested types simplify reporting and analysis across related entity types. | ||
|

| Entity type acts as the default filter for many operations in CluedIn. Selecting the right entity type allows you to target groups of golden records that logically belong together. | ||
