Entities may include AI agents, software services, compute workloads, and other named resources that need to be found and characterised before interaction can begin. This document defines terminology for Discovery of Agents, Workloads, and Named Entities (DAWN). The intention is that this common set of terms can be used by other documents related to DAWN and so achieve consistency of meaning across the space.}, }
