Class (4) was added after the first string pass and before admission, when the reading of the census record showed its host_relation and tll_reading place the entity in the class #1719 defines; the pass was rerun with it. The aliases are the entity's names (Consortium on Electronic Literature, with the ebr spelling 'Consortium for Electronic Literature'; CELL, case-sensitive; the CELL Project's host cellproject; The Index of Electronic Literature; the CELL Element Set, its standard). ELMCIP, NT2, PO.EX, ELD, ADEL, Ciberia and DLD (the member archives; ELMCIP and the ELD each with their own census row or entity), the Electronic Literature Organization, the Center for Digital Narrative and the University of Bergen are entities distinct from CELL and are not aliases. #186 and #1543, the layer census's anchors, are read at the passages bearing on the entity's kind (field histories and indexes of electronic literature; writing addressed to a machine reader and the metadata that lets it be found and attributed; provenance kept apart from composition). Admission by reading (§3.4): D where a deposit names the entity and says something of it; R where it states a relation between the entity and an archive object; O-class where a sentence applies an archive category to one of the three classes; a bare mention, a keyword list or the archive's own Wikidata items described as its own infrastructure is not a claim on the class.",
