    description: Abstract base class for entities generated by a reconstruction activity.
    comments:
      - "RDFS semantics: used to enforce domain/range for generates/generated_by inverse relationships (ReconstructionActivity <-> ReconstructedEntity)."
      - "PROV-O alignment: prov:Entity (entities may be physical, digital, conceptual, real, or imaginary)."
      - "Subclasses represent reconstructed aspects of a custodian (e.g., legal status, standardized name, location, collections, digital platform, organization branch)."
      - "Usage pattern: ReconstructionActivity generates one or more ReconstructedEntity instances; each generated entity links back via generated_by."

        "Abstract base class for all entities that are generated by a ReconstructionActivity.\n\n**RDFS Compliance**:\nThis class exists to ensure proper RDFS domain/range semantics for the\n`generates`/`generated_by` inverse relationship:\n- `generates`: domain=ReconstructionActivity, range=ReconstructedEntity\n- `generated_by`: domain=ReconstructedEntity, range=ReconstructionActivity\n\n**PROV-O Alignment**:\nMaps to `prov:Entity` - \"An entity is a physical, digital, conceptual, or\nother kind of thing with some fixed aspects; entities may be real or imaginary.\"\n\n**Subclasses**:\nAll reconstructed aspects of a custodian inherit from this class:\n- CustodianLegalStatus (formal legal entity)\n- CustodianName (standardized name)\n- CustodianPlace (physical location)\n- CustodianCollection (collection metadata)\n- DigitalPlatform (digital infrastructure)\n- OrganizationBranch (organizational units)\n- And other aspect entities...\n\n**Usage Pattern**:\n```yaml\n# ReconstructionActivity\
