# Entity Extraction Rules — Supply Chain Infospace
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## What Constitutes an Entity
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Extract a concept as an entity when it is:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. **Named**: referred to by a consistent, recognisable label in the
|
|||
|
|
source material
|
|||
|
|
2. **Distinct**: meaningfully different from other entities being extracted
|
|||
|
|
3. **Explanatory**: contributes to understanding how supply chains work,
|
|||
|
|
fail, or could be improved
|
|||
|
|
4. **Mappable**: has a plausible correspondence to at least one concept in
|
|||
|
|
the Wealth of Nations reference set
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Do NOT extract:
|
|||
|
|
- Proper nouns for specific companies or products (Toyota, Amazon) unless
|
|||
|
|
they name a concept (e.g., the Toyota Production System is a concept)
|
|||
|
|
- Historical examples unless the example itself is the concept
|
|||
|
|
- Vague modifiers (e.g., "lean", "agile" as standalone adjectives)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Granularity Rules
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Target 4–8 entities per source document. Avoid:
|
|||
|
|
- Entities so broad they subsume multiple distinct mechanisms (split them)
|
|||
|
|
- Entities so narrow they are examples of a broader concept (elevate them)
|
|||
|
|
- Entities that restate the same concept with different words (merge them)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Naming Conventions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Title case: `Bullwhip Effect`, not `bullwhip effect`
|
|||
|
|
- Noun phrases: `Supply Chain Visibility`, not `supply chain is visible`
|
|||
|
|
- Avoid acronyms in titles: `Just-in-Time Inventory`, not `JIT Inventory`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## WoN Cross-Reference
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For each entity, consult the WoN core entity reference
|
|||
|
|
(`artifacts/won-reference/core-entities.md`) to identify the most relevant
|
|||
|
|
Wealth of Nations concept. Every entity should have a WoN Concept section —
|
|||
|
|
even if the mapping is weak, noting the absence of a direct analogue is
|
|||
|
|
informative.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Supply Chain Domain Assignment
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Assign the supply chain domain that best characterises the entity:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Coordination**: mechanisms that synchronise activity across chain nodes
|
|||
|
|
- **Capital Management**: decisions about how working capital is deployed
|
|||
|
|
- **Market Structure**: competitive arrangements, power relations, platform dynamics
|
|||
|
|
- **Risk**: disruption, fragility, resilience
|
|||
|
|
- **Logistics**: physical movement, warehousing, last-mile
