Listing of Entity Types »

EntityClass[type,name]

represents a class of entities of the specified type identified by name.

EntityClass[type,{property1vspec1,property2vspec2,}]

represents an implicitly defined entity class containing entities of the specified type for which the properties propertyi conform to the value selector vspeci.

EntityClass[cspec,psel]

represents an entity class with members specified by cspec, selected by the property selector psel.
