hi Racle
shared entities are those oracle apps entities which are owned by one apps say module but shared by other apps modules as well for example when u create suppliers in purchasing module (as suppliers are owned by purchasing) when u need to make payment to ur suppliers u will open payables modules and u will query same suppliers there to make payment hence u see one entity shared by two different modules. similar is the case with SOB, Item master , currencies , customers( owned by Receiables module) etc.

for further query u may contact me at mohsinsaeeds@gmail.com
thanks
