The entry finite type significantly extended. It is an algebraic notion, I do not understand its linking into homotopy theory, it is not specific to the rational homotopy theory, but the usage there is a natural extension of its standard usage in algebra. On the other hand, I did not discuss the relation to the notion of compact object. The difference between the objects of finite type and finitely presented objects in the context of abelian AB5 categories is outlined, however.
