 "classes_note": "Two classes, each sourced from the field by locus: the specification the program certifies products against, Content Credentials (B1, B2, B7, B9), and the kind of provenance it carries, signed tamper-evident provenance bound to a media asset (B6, B9; the census record's lineage 'media' and its provenance_object). The census's kind 'registry' is the program's unit (B1: 'Conforming products are placed on a publicly-accessible list'; B7 §2.12) and is carried by the aliases (Conforming Products List, Trust List, TSA Trust List, Conformance Explorer), not as a class. The aliases are the program's names (Conformance Program, Conformance Explorer, Conformance Task Force), its lists, its domain, and its operator by name and initialism (C2PA; the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity): following the row brief's ruling for operator aliases, a candidate naming the operator is admitted at D only where it says something of what the program governs, certifies or lists (the C2PA specification's object, its trust model, what its signatures establish and do not). The Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) is a distinct entity (Adobe's coalition, which publishes two of the cards) and is not an alias. Admission by reading (§3.4): a citation-list entry, a keyword listing or a bare 'external anchors' line is not a claim. O-class admits a sentence that applies an archive category (provenance erasure, the Provenance Erasure Rate, semantic provenance, the dimensions of provenance, the composition layer) to Content Credentials or to artifact provenance as a class.",

A string check before the pass: no archive text names the Conformance Program, the Conforming Products List, the C2PA Trust List or the Conformance Explorer; 27 texts name C2PA and 11 Content Credentials.
