data class EntityMention(val span: String, val type: String, val resolvedId: String? = null, val role: MentionRole = MentionRole.OTHER, val hints: Map<String, Any> = emptyMap())

A reference to an entity within a proposition.

Constructors

EntityMention

constructor(span: String, type: String, resolvedId: String? = null, role: MentionRole = MentionRole.OTHER, hints: Map<String, Any> = emptyMap())

Properties

hints

val hints: Map<String, Any>

Additional context for future resolution (e.g., aliases, titles)

resolvedId

val resolvedId: String? = null

Entity ID if resolved, null if unresolved

role

val role: MentionRole

The role this entity plays in the proposition

span

val span: String

The text as it appears in the proposition (e.g., "Jim")

type

val type: String

The entity type label from schema (e.g., "Person", "Technology"). For graph projection, this must match the relation's expected subject/object type — which is derived from the Kotlin class simpleName (or a Neo4j ownLabel) — for an edge to be produced. Matching is tolerant of case and of label-ish hints, but a genuine mismatch yields a failure whose reason names both the actual and expected type rather than silently producing no edge.
