C<account> (C<b72508ba-7fb9-42ae-b4cf-b850b53a16c2>).
Accounts are owned by one or more entities.
They commonly include some amount of profile data
(such as names and contact information) and may represent the entity they are owned by.

In contrast an entity (natural or legal) should have roles including
C<entity> (C<09ade47e-b049-436b-bf10-8357f4b6bc05>).
Entities also include some amount of profile data. However this should be limited
to such data that is directly linked to the entity and is valid indefinitely
(e.g. names, cultural background, locations, and important events).
An entity never contain any technical data such as login credentials.
Such data is a clear sign that it is in fact an account.

Legal entities are entities that are created by legal means. Most commonly
companies. In order for them to be legal entities registration and legal
documentation is needed.
Such entities should include the role C<legal-entity> (C<f57f5e00-1d08-4731-b49b-c8316e23f06a>).
If it is unclear if a group qualifies as a legal entity (e.g. people doing something together vs.
a registered association) it is wise to only mark it as C<entity>.

Natural entities are I<living beings>.
