Entity Home
Entity Home
coined by Jason Barnard in 2021.
Description
Entity Home is the single, authoritative page on the web that defines an entity, acting as the primary source of truth for algorithms. It is also referred to as the Entity Home Page, Entity Canonical, or Point of Reconciliation.
The Entity Home definition
Jason Barnard defines the Entity Home as the single, authoritative webpage an algorithm uses as the primary source of truth to understand an entity. Typically an "About" page, it acts as the definitive Point of Reconciliation where an algorithm can resolve conflicting information it finds across the web. It's important to distinguish this strategic, entity-level concept from a technical, page-level canonical URL (rel="canonical"). While the Entity Home page should have a self-referencing canonical tag to reinforce its status as a unique document, the canonical tag's function is to consolidate the authority of that single page. The Entity Home concept is much broader: it consolidates the authority of the entire brand onto that one page.
How Jason Barnard uses Entity Home definition
At Kalicube, establishing and optimizing the Entity Home is the cornerstone of the Understandability phase of The Kalicube Process. Our Digital Brand Engineers build or optimize this page to be the central node of the client's Digital Brand Ecosystem. It is engineered to contain clear, structured facts in the Native Language of Algorithms and serves as the start and end point for the Infinite Self-Confirming Loop of Corroboration, where all other digital assets point back to it as the ultimate source of truth.
Why Entity Home matters to digital marketers
In marketing, branding visionaries like David Aaker have taught for decades that a strong brand requires a clear, consistent identity, often codified in a company's "Brand Book" or brand guidelines. This document serves as the internal source of truth, defining the brand's logo, tone of voice, and core messaging to ensure all communications are consistent. Jason Barnard's concept of the Entity Home applies this same principle to the world of algorithms. For an AI Assistive Engine trying to make sense of a brand's chaotic Digital Brand Echo, the Entity Home is its Brand Book. It is the definitive document the algorithm refers to to learn the brand's "rules" and resolve contradictions it finds elsewhere. Without this foundational source of truth, the algorithm is forced to improvise, leading to Brand Ambiguity and a misrepresentation of the brand's identity. In the AI era, engineering a clear and authoritative Entity Home is the first and most critical step in enforcing your own brand guidelines on the algorithms that now shape your narrative.
