Furthermore, we propose specific modeling solutions for three different categories of entities:

Thank you @piermonn.bsky.social! SSSOM is pretty agnostic to the entity type. When we present about SSSOM (mapping-commons.github.io/sssom/presen...), we usually show the picture below to give a sense of what "things" (symbols) can constitute a mappable entity in the sense of SSSOM..

Mappings are the glue of the Web of Research Data, enabling integration of information critical to the global coordination of humanity's most pressing issues such as #climate and #raredisease. Join the RDA Working Group to help promote reusable mappings! www.rd-alliance.org/groups/fair-...

In scientific contexts where transparency is paramount, avoid to just “merge” data using some fuzzy algorithmic approach. Export your matching decisions in a SSSOM-style mapping set so your consumers can see why you merged, and contest the decision. mapping-commons.github.io/sssom/
