David Snelling d70d0946cf **refactor: adjust export formatting for consistency and alignment**
- Reformatted export statements across `index.ts` and related modules for consistent style, improving code readability and maintainability.
- Updated graph types in `graphTypes.ts` to include additional standardized noun and verb categories, enhancing the flexibility of the type system for graph modeling.
- Replaced `Place` with `Location` and merged similar types (e.g., `Group` into `Collection`) to eliminate redundancy in entity definitions.
- Expanded verb types in `VerbType` to cover more comprehensive use cases, including social, temporal, and ownership relationships.

**Purpose**: Streamline code structure with consistent export formatting, simplify type definitions, and enhance the type system for broader modeling capabilities.

/**
* Graph Types - Standardized Noun and Verb Type System
*
* This module defines a comprehensive, standardized set of noun and verb types
* that can be used to model any kind of graph, semantic network, or data model.
*
* ## Purpose and Design Philosophy
*
* The type system is designed to be:
* - **Universal**: Capable of representing any domain or use case
* - **Hierarchical**: Organized into logical categories for easy navigation
* - **Extensible**: Additional metadata can be attached to any entity or relationship
* - **Semantic**: Types carry meaning that can be used for reasoning and inference
*
* ## Noun Types (Entities)
*
* Noun types represent entities in the graph and are organized into categories:
*
* ### Core Entity Types
* - **Person**: Human entities and individuals
* - **Organization**: Formal organizations, companies, institutions
* - **Location**: Geographic locations, places, addresses
* - **Thing**: Physical objects and tangible items
* - **Concept**: Abstract ideas, concepts, and intangible entities
* - **Event**: Occurrences with time and place dimensions
*
* ### Digital/Content Types
* - **Document**: Text-based files and documents
* - **Media**: Non-text media files (images, videos, audio)
* - **File**: Generic digital files
* - **Message**: Communication content
* - **Content**: Generic content that doesn't fit other categories
*
* ### Collection Types
* - **Collection**: Generic groupings of items
* - **Dataset**: Structured collections of data
*
* ### Business/Application Types
* - **Product**: Commercial products and offerings
* - **Service**: Services and offerings
* - **User**: User accounts and profiles
* - **Task**: Actions, todos, and workflow items
* - **Project**: Organized initiatives with goals and timelines
*
* ### Descriptive Types
* - **Process**: Workflows, procedures, and sequences
* - **State**: States, conditions, or statuses
* - **Role**: Roles, positions, or responsibilities
* - **Topic**: Subjects or themes
* - **Language**: Languages or linguistic entities
* - **Currency**: Currencies and monetary units
* - **Measurement**: Measurements, metrics, or quantities
*
* ## Verb Types (Relationships)
*
* Verb types represent relationships between entities and are organized into categories:
*
* ### Core Relationship Types
* - **RelatedTo**: Generic relationship (default fallback)
* - **Contains**: Containment relationship
* - **PartOf**: Part-whole relationship
* - **LocatedAt**: Spatial relationship
* - **References**: Reference or citation relationship
*
* ### Temporal/Causal Types
* - **Precedes/Succeeds**: Temporal sequence relationships
* - **Causes**: Causal relationships
* - **DependsOn**: Dependency relationships
* - **Requires**: Necessity relationships
*
* ### Creation/Transformation Types
* - **Creates**: Creation relationships
* - **Transforms**: Transformation relationships
* - **Becomes**: State change relationships
* - **Modifies**: Modification relationships
* - **Consumes**: Consumption relationships
*
* ### Ownership/Attribution Types
* - **Owns**: Ownership relationships
* - **AttributedTo**: Attribution or authorship
* - **CreatedBy**: Creation attribution
* - **BelongsTo**: Belonging relationships
*
* ### Social/Organizational Types
* - **MemberOf**: Membership or affiliation
* - **WorksWith**: Professional relationships
* - **FriendOf**: Friendship relationships
* - **Follows**: Following relationships
* - **Likes**: Liking relationships
* - **ReportsTo**: Reporting relationships
* - **Supervises**: Supervisory relationships
* - **Mentors**: Mentorship relationships
* - **Communicates**: Communication relationships
*
* ### Descriptive/Functional Types
* - **Describes**: Descriptive relationships
* - **Defines**: Definition relationships
* - **Categorizes**: Categorization relationships
* - **Measures**: Measurement relationships
* - **Evaluates**: Evaluation or assessment relationships
* - **Uses**: Utilization relationships
* - **Implements**: Implementation relationships
* - **Extends**: Extension relationships
*
* ## Usage with Additional Metadata
*
* While the type system provides a standardized vocabulary, additional metadata
* can be attached to any entity or relationship to capture domain-specific
* information:
*
* ```typescript
* const person: GraphNoun = {
* id: 'person-123',
* noun: NounType.Person,
* data: {
* name: 'John Doe',
* age: 30,
* profession: 'Engineer'
* }
* }
*
* const worksFor: GraphVerb = {
* id: 'verb-456',
* source: 'person-123',
* target: 'org-789',
* verb: VerbType.MemberOf,
* data: {
* role: 'Senior Engineer',
* startDate: '2020-01-01',
* department: 'Engineering'
* }
* }
* ```
*
* ## Modeling Different Graph Types
*
* This type system can model various graph structures:
*
* ### Knowledge Graphs
* Use Person, Organization, Location, Concept entities with semantic relationships
* like AttributedTo, LocatedAt, RelatedTo
*
* ### Social Networks
* Use Person, User entities with social relationships like FriendOf, Follows,
* WorksWith, Communicates
*
* ### Content Networks
* Use Document, Media, Content entities with relationships like References,
* CreatedBy, Contains, Categorizes
*
* ### Business Process Models
* Use Task, Process, Role entities with relationships like Precedes, Requires,
* DependsOn, Transforms
*
* ### Organizational Charts
* Use Person, Role, Organization entities with relationships like ReportsTo,
* Supervises, MemberOf
*
* The flexibility of this system allows it to represent any domain while
* maintaining semantic consistency and enabling powerful graph operations
* and reasoning capabilities.
