An [[Obsidian]] entity is part of a general taxonomy of notes that I use in [[How I Use Obsidian|my Obsidian setup]]. These entities represent a top-level idea of what is contained in this note. Traditionally, they used to be static strings like `concept`, `practice`, etc; today, due to the increased power of editing the frontmatter in [[Obsidian]], they tend to be links to notes that explain what kind is the note. This very note is, indeed, just another entity. Obsidian entities are to be ignored from most searches, since they represent just this abstract idea that collects different instances in other notes.
