Anything that can be referenced in statements as an abstract or concrete noun.
Entities include but are not limited to people, organizations, physical things, documents,

in the ecosystem, if it is capable of doing so. Note that some
entities fundamentally cannot take actions, e.g., the string "abc"
cannot issue credentials. </dd>
