An entity represents a distinct, manageable piece of information or content within a system. Each entity type is further categorized into one or more bundles. The terminology for these bundles varies depending on the entity type. For example, a bundle within the Media entity type is called the Media type bundle, and a bundle within the Taxonomy entity type is called the Vocabulary bundle.
