I'd only
suggest ending the definition itself at the end of the second sentence. Put
the distinction from UN/CEFACT (and potentially from other) definitions as a
footnote.

"Entity"
Team,
Here's what I think could be a
good way to define our concept of an entity
"An entity is any legal or
functional component of a business or an organization. Examples of legal
entities may include the entire organization, divisions within an
organization, roles such as buyer, seller etc... while functional entities
could be specific departments within a legal entity like accounting department
or human resources. This is different from the UN/CEFACT definition of a
business entity which is defined in the UMM specification as "the
subject of Business Collaboration Activities that have independent identity"
or a concept
representing the data that is shared in the collaborative domain between two
trading partners.Examples of UN/CEFACT business entities could be purchase
orders, trade-items etc."
Hope this is
self-explanatory, please let me know if you want any part of this text
changed.
thank
you
