In a publication, the entity represents the duplication grain of a template.

The entity answers the question: “I want to create as many documents as…” or “I expect as many responses as…”.

Technically, the entity is an element of the diffusion axis of a publication, or a combination of elements if the publication has several diffusion axis.

When constructing a Data collection launch action or a Restitution launch action, the entities will be defined by the assignment relationship.
