  "classes_note": "Two classes. (1) Records of AI litigation: the field sources it for the entity and for three of the four trackers beside it (B1, B2, B3, B5) and the census by its kind, record_type and evidence_kind. (2) Law and litigation on who or what can be an author: membership sourced from the archive only (the census's area 'governance' and its ls_reading); the field states no authorship case for the entity, and B5, a distinct tracker, carries authorship and inventorship matters of its own. The aliases are the entity's names (DAIL; the Database of AI Litigation; both in the census's aka) and its two addresses (the GW Blogs path ai-litigation-database, and etidail.com, card 4, a second address under the database's name). 'DAIL' is matched case-sensitively so that Dáil and dail do not enter. The Ethical Tech Initiative (the operator), George Washington University (the host site) and the other trackers on the rail (Fisher Phillips's AI Litigation Tracker, Damien Charlotin's AI Hallucination Cases Database, Hogan Lovells Cadwalader's AI Litigation Case Law Tracker) are entities distinct from DAIL and are not aliases. #940 and #1722, the census's anchors, are read at the passages on law, legal names and attribution regimes, and on institutions and standing. 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 two classes; a bare mention, a citation line or a list of keywords is not a claim.",
