In the last issue, we introduced the "schema definition" as a way of defining data. This time, we will introduce the data and entities that use that definition.

What is an Entity?

Entities are the units of data managed by Sitecore Content Hub, and the structure of data managed by an entity changes depending on the structure of the defined schema.

Entity tools are available to check the data.

When viewing data, you can see detailed information about what kind of data is set against the schema definition. The search allows you to perform a search by taxonomy, search by string, etc., so you can specify the target entity and see detailed data.

Access via Web Services

The information managed as an entity can be viewed on the screen as shown below if it is an asset, and the registration information can be viewed on the screen as shown below if it is an asset.

Summary

We could see the data contained in an entity. You could define the structure of the data with a schema and have the data in the form of entities. The status of the input data and the workflow status can also be checked by referring to the Entity details to see what the current status of the data is.
