The aliases are the entity's name, its web archive, its library catalogue project and its host (the bare host only, not archived-copy URLs, which are citation apparatus: a link to web.archive.org is a use of the service and no claim about it). Brewster Kahle (its founder), Common Crawl, HathiTrust and Project Gutenberg (neighbours with rows of their own in the census), arXiv and archive.today (Wikipedia's disambiguation) are distinct entities and are not aliases. The census's tll_reading applies #186's and #1543's question (how transmission, transformation and provenance can be inspected across later reception) to the entity: that reading is the archive's, ledgered as TLL-NN. #186 and #1543, the census's anchors, are read at the passages that bear on training corpora, crawls and digital libraries, persistence and inspection. 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, an archived-copy link or a citation line is not a claim.",
