Entity Meta

Entity Meta classifies canonical people, organizations, and locations in Stylebook. Types appear on mention rows and entity search filters as person_type, organization_type, and location_type.

This is Entity Meta, not Article Meta's meta_type=subject (what the story is about) or Mention Meta's nature=subject (when a person or place is the central focus of the narrative).

Extractors assign types when stories are processed; unmatched free text normalizes to other.

Catalog tables on each page list allowed slugs. Call the types endpoint for each entity to see defaults plus types stored on active canonical records in your project:

Entity Endpoint Doc
People GET …/people/types People types
Organizations GET …/organizations/types Organizations types
Locations GET …/locations/types Locations types

Mention facets also returns distinct person_types, organization_types, and location_types seen on mention rows.
