Being a graph, an Agora can be defined as a set of vertices or **nodes** `N` (entities) and **edges** `E` (known links between entities, optionally annotated). An Agora node contains the set of all known resources about or otherwise relevant to the entity described by the node title or any provided metadata. Each such resource is called a **subnode**. Note that because links can be arbitrarily annotated (i.e. #tagged or qualified by other nearby links) and have multiplicity, the Agora is in fact a **hypergraph**.
