encyclopedia entry
Knowledge base segment
An encyclopedia entry is a self-contained article on a specific topic within an encyclopedia, covering a person, place, concept, or thing.
Entries typically provide factual overview rather than argumentative depth: The encyclopedia entry on photosynthesis covers the basic chemical process.
The term also describes any brief, informative summary written in that comprehensive-but-neutral style.
