 * TypedEntity is the abstract superclass for all typed entities. A typed entity
 * refers to an entity that has a concrete Java class mapped to it. Entities do
 * not need to have concrete typed classes, the service interacts with entities
 * in an entirely dynamic fashion and uses the Schema class to determine
 * relationships and property types, however using the typed entity classes can
 * be more convenient.
