Reading

The innocent reading first. Asked for the name, the Overview introduces the knowledge base as a newcomer would meet it: host, license, how items and statements work, and how to query.

Findings
Analysis analyst prose, not machine text

The knowledge base composed accurately as a data model and a query service, with its license stated wider than its own page states it. The two features that make it a census row, the identifier properties that join ISNI, VIAF and ORCID, and the property that stores a heteronym as a string on its bearer's item, are absent.

Machine text, verbatim
