[Related Interpreter](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/Beach.en.md) Entity["Beach", name] or Entity[...] represents an entity of type "Beach". Entity[...][prop] gives the value of a specified property. Entity[...][{propi, …}] gives the value of a list of properties. EntityClass["Beach", {propi -> speci, …}] represents a class of entities with values of propi defined by speci. ## Sample Entities * Entity["Beach", "BarkingSands::399k9"]Entity["Beach", "BarleyBeach::c6tc4"]Entity["Beach", "BondiBeach::4wp25"]Entity["Beach", "BramstonBeach::845wm"]Entity["Beach", "CronullaBeach::9cym7"]Entity["Beach", "HanakapiaiBeach::4wp5m"]Entity["Beach", "MahanaBeach::84d69"]Entity["Beach", "OhopeBeach::w8tkq"]Entity["Beach", "OphirBeach::d3ns7"]Entity["Beach", "TurimettaBeach::jgp6v"]**…** ## Properties | | | | ---------------------- | ----------------------- | | AdministrativeDivision | administrative division | | Coordinates | coordinates | | Country | country | | EntityClasses | entity classes | | EntityTypeList | entity type list | | Latitude | latitude | | Longitude | longitude | | Name | name | | Position | position | | UVIndex | UV index value | ## Details * ``"Beach"`` entities include beaches adjacent to major seas and oceans, as well as inland beaches on the shores of lakes and other bodies of water. * Some properties are available for the ``"Beach"`` entity type as a whole and can be given using the form ``EntityValue["Beach", property]``. Such properties include: | | | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | "Properties" | the list of available properties | | "PropertyCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available properties | | "SampleEntities" | a sample list of available entities (typically of length 10) | | "SampleEntityClasses" | a sample list of available entity classes (typically of length 10) | | "EntityCount" | number of entities available | | "Entities" | the list of available entities | | "EntityCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available entities | | "EntityClasses" | the list of available entity classes | | "EntityClassCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available entity classes | | "PropertyClasses" | the list of available property classes | | "PropertyClassCanonicalNames" | the standard names of available property classes | | "PropertyCount" | number of properties available | * The following annotations can be used in the third argument of ``EntityValue["Beach", property, annotation]`` : | | | | --- | --- | | "Source" | source information for the property | | "Date" | the date associated with the entity-property value (if any) | | "EntityAssociation" | an association of entities and entity-property values | | "PropertyAssociation" | an association of properties and entity-property values | | "EntityPropertyAssociation" | an association in which the specified entities are keys, and values are a nested association of properties and entity-property values | | "PropertyEntityAssociation" | an association in which the specified properties are keys, and values are a nested association of entities and entity-property values | | "Dataset" | a dataset in which the specified entities are keys, and values are an association of property names and entity-property values | * The following annotations can be used in the second argument of ``EntityValue[property, annotation]`` : | | | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | "Qualifiers" | the list of possible qualifiers for the property | | "QualifierValues" | the list of possible values that can be given to each qualifier | | "DefaultQualifierValues" | the list of default values for the property's qualifiers | | "Description" | a brief textual description of the property | | "Definition" | a detailed textual definition of the property | | "PhysicalQuantity" | the physical quantity associated with the entity-property value | | "Unit" | the unit associated with the entity-property value | * A qualifier value of ``Automatic`` indicates that an applicable format of values can be used; e.g. for the ``"Date"`` qualifier, this includes a proper date or date span. --- ## Examples (4) ### Basic Examples (4) Use ctrl+= for entity discovery: ```wl In[1]:= \[FreeformPrompt]["Flamenco beach"] Out[1]= Entity["Beach", "PlayaFlamenco::4p4v7"] ``` --- Find a property value for an entity: ```wl In[1]:= Entity["Beach", "HanakapiaiBeach::4wp5m"]["Coordinates"] Out[1]= {22.2093, -159.598} ``` --- Retrieve a dataset of all available properties for an entity: ```wl In[1]:= Entity["Beach", "OphirBeach::d3ns7"]["Dataset"] Out[1]= Dataset[Association[EntityProperty["Beach", "AdministrativeDivision"] -> {Entity["AdministrativeDivision", {"CurryCounty", "Oregon", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["AdministrativeDivision", {"Oregon", "UnitedStates"}]}, EntityProperty["Beach" ... operty["GeoLocation", "Position"] -> GeoPosition[{42.54989, -124.39583}], EntityProperty["Thing", "EntityClasses"] -> {}, EntityProperty["Thing", "EntityTypeList"] -> {EntityType["Beach"]}, EntityProperty["Thing", "Name"] -> "Ophir Beach"]] ``` --- Find notable Norwegian beaches: ```wl In[1]:= EntityClass["Beach", "Country" -> Entity["Country", "Norway"]]//EntityList Out[1]= {Entity["Beach", "Bjonnesstranda::452d3"], Entity["Beach", "Bjornehistranda::y329w"], Entity["Beach", "HaldenBrygge::fs42q"], Entity["Beach", "Kleivstrand::2245c"], Entity["Beach", "Mortensteinstranda::g54y3"], Entity["Beach", "Norskesanden::5r5x4"], Entity["Beach", "Rolvestangen::52mh7"]} ``` ## See Also * [`Ocean`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Ocean.en.md) * [`Island`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Island.en.md) * [`UnderseaFeature`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/UnderseaFeature.en.md) * [`Reef`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Reef.en.md) * [`Lake`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Lake.en.md) * [`Mountain`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Mountain.en.md) * [`Volcano`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Volcano.en.md) * [`River`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/River.en.md) * [`Glacier`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Glacier.en.md) * [`Waterfall`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Waterfall.en.md) * [`EarthImpact`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/EarthImpact.en.md) * [`Desert`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Desert.en.md) * [`Forest`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/entity/Forest.en.md) * [`Beach`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/Beach.en.md) * [`ComputedBeach`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/interpreter/ComputedBeach.en.md) * [`Beach`](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/textcontent/Beach.en.md) ## Related Guides * [Entity Types](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/EntityTypes.en.md) ## History * [Introduced in 2019 (12.0)](https://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/SummaryOfNewFeaturesIn120.en.md)
