Chapter 4 Building Conceptual Data Models
An entity represents an object defined within the information system about which you want to store information. For example, in a model concerning employees and divisions, the entities are Employee and Division.
An occurrence of an entity is an individual element belonging to the entity. For example, the employee Martin is one occurrence of the entity Employee.
