Reading

The innocent reading first. Asked for the museum under its organization's name, the Overview says what it is, who made it, what it holds, who runs it and who leads it, from the museum's own pages and the ELO's.

Findings
Analysis analyst prose, not machine text

An accurate composition of the museum, its maker and its holder. What the census reads it for, the names its works stand under and the migration that keeps a work under its author's name across obsolete software, is not carried.

Machine text, verbatim
