However, many entities have relationships to other entities in the system, and they do not work as expected without those other entities. For example, a rule that runs three actions is not very useful in a system that doesn't have those three actions. For this reason, when an entity is added explicitly, the system identifies other entities that are necessary for the table to work as expected, and adds these other entities to the set as implicit entities. Implicit entities are sent only if they do not exist at all added or updated in the target KB ; if an implicit entity already exists in the target KB, the entity isn't updatedunless you choose the option to prevent updating implicit entities that already exist.
| Entity Not Found in Target KB | Entity Found in Target KB | |
|---|---|---|
| Explicit Selection | Entity is created in target KB | Entity is updated in target KB |
| Implicit Selection | Entity is created in target KB | No change in target KB |
