Overview

The Entities Management Application (Entities App) is the module of the FOLIO architecture where entity data is managed, created, cached and published. This application provides the functionality to support entity management, integrate both external and internal linked data sources across FOLIO applications and provide one component of the requirements for facilitating entity-based data models, such as BIBFRAME. This will be FOLIO’s central place for managing controlled entities and supporting any metadata schema that FOLIO stores and supports. 

...

The Entities Management WG acknowledges The CODEX Vision and that there is some overlap between that vision and the concept of Entity Management. However, the Entity Management App is envisaged to implement specific functions to enable the management of entities within Folio and does not restrict itself to the Codex Vision nor require any part of the Codex Vision to be delivered.
