--

-- projects, origins.

-- Types of entities.
--
-- - organization: a root entity, usually backed by a non-profit, a
-- company, or another kind of "association". (examples: Software
-- Heritage, Debian, GNU, GitHub)
--
-- - group_of_entities: used for hierarchies, doesn't need to have a
-- concrete existence. (examples: GNU hosting facilities, Debian
-- hosting facilities, GitHub users, ...)
--
-- - hosting: a hosting facility, can usually be listed to generate
-- other data. (examples: GitHub git hosting, alioth.debian.org,
-- snapshot.debian.org)
--
-- - group_of_persons: an entity representing a group of
-- persons. (examples: a GitHub organization, a Debian team)
--
-- - person: an entity representing a person. (examples:
-- a GitHub user, a Debian developer)
--
-- - project: an entity representing a software project. (examples: a
-- GitHub project, Apache httpd, a Debian source package, ...)
