# Entity Extraction Rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What Constitutes an Entity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An economic entity is a distinct concept, actor, mechanism, or institution
|
||
|
|
that plays a functional role in Adam Smith's economic analysis. Extract
|
||
|
|
entities at the level of specificity where they carry independent meaning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Extraction Criteria
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Concepts**: Abstract economic ideas (e.g., "division of labour",
|
||
|
|
"effectual demand", "natural price"). Extract when Smith defines,
|
||
|
|
explains, or argues about the concept.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. **Actors**: Economic agents with defined roles (e.g., "the labourer",
|
||
|
|
"the merchant", "the sovereign"). Extract when the actor performs
|
||
|
|
a distinct economic function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. **Mechanisms**: Processes or dynamics that produce economic effects
|
||
|
|
(e.g., "accumulation of stock", "market price adjustment",
|
||
|
|
"foreign trade"). Extract when the mechanism is described as
|
||
|
|
producing specific outcomes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. **Institutions**: Organised structures that shape economic behaviour
|
||
|
|
(e.g., "the corporation", "the guild", "the joint-stock company").
|
||
|
|
Extract when the institution's economic function is described.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Granularity Rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Extract at the level of a single coherent concept.
|
||
|
|
- Do NOT extract synonyms as separate entities — choose the primary term
|
||
|
|
Smith uses and note variations.
|
||
|
|
- DO extract distinct aspects of a broad concept as separate entities when
|
||
|
|
Smith treats them independently (e.g., "wages of labour" and "profits
|
||
|
|
of stock" are separate from "price of commodities" even though they
|
||
|
|
compose it).
|
||
|
|
- If an entity appears across multiple chapters, extract it on first
|
||
|
|
significant appearance and note cross-references in later chapters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Naming Conventions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Use Smith's own terminology where possible.
|
||
|
|
- Normalise to lowercase except for proper nouns.
|
||
|
|
- Use the most common form Smith uses (e.g., "division of labour" not
|
||
|
|
"divided labour").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Quality Checks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Each entity must have a definition that would be comprehensible without
|
||
|
|
reading the source chapter.
|
||
|
|
- Each entity must cite the specific book and chapter of first appearance.
|
||
|
|
- Economic Domain must be one of: Production, Distribution, Exchange,
|
||
|
|
Consumption, Accumulation, Regulation, or General Theory.
