Entity Class

Entities carry metadata about an activity or conversation. Each entity's meaning and shape is defined by the type field. Additional type-specific fields sit as peers to the type field.
Some Microsoft entities may have a preexisting field called type. Parties integrating these entities into the activity entity format are advised to define field-level mapping to resolve conflicts with the type field name and other incompatibilities with serialization requirement A2001 as part of the IRI defining the entity type.
Frequently, entities used within Activity Protocol are also expressed elsewhere using JSON-LD[17]. The entity format is designed to be compatible with JSON-LD contexts, but does not require senders or receivers to implement JSON-LD to successfully process an entity.
