 This is my experiment in creating a system for organizing entities. I am especially interested in creating a structure that will allow the city's nonprofit groups to be organized in a unique and highly searchable structure. 

The essence of my system is for each entity to have descriptive sentences made up of key phrases that a searcher might use to find the entity. The fact is that I have no idea how much work it will take to build the structure for this system. It may be ridiculously time consuming. But I think it would be very useful once in place.

The entity is a "What" (kind of entity) that "Does" (what ever services) "For" (who is to be served) "By" (what method of service) "Using" (the service providers or special resources)
