The Global Nonviolent Action Database, known as GNAD, is a "database of case studies of nonviolent action campaigns, browsable by case, tag, method and map" (maryleelabor record), which its home page calls "a project of Swarthmore College, including the Peace and Conflict Studies Program, the Peace Collection, and the Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility", under the line "Powering Learning about Nonviolent Action" (home page). CNCR describes it as "A database of over 1000 summaries of nonviolent campaigns worldwide", the Swarthmore Peace & Conflict Studies blog as one that "presents cases of nonviolent civil resistance from around the world, spanning decades and even hundreds of years", the Discuss Data review as reporting "on cases of nonviolent protest actions taken across the globe", and the Policy Commons card as providing "access to information about hundreds of cases of nonviolent action" (CNCR; the blog; Discuss Data review, 2025; Policy Commons card). The maryleelabor census, anchored on #1725, asks of it "Whose record does it keep, who holds it, and does it keep the losing side in a form that could be taken up later?", and enters it under labor action with "case record" as its kind of evidence (maryleelabor record).
Its unit is the campaign: the home page's menu carries a page titled "Campaigns, Not Movements", and CNCR states the rule, "the case studies included are indeed, campaigns, and not movements. For example, “the civil rights movement” is not included, but the Montgomery Bus Boycott is a case", which CNCR's card gives as "excluding broad moveme..." and the census records as "a case: a nonviolent action campaign (a menu page is titled 'Campaigns, Not Movements'), linked to the methods it used" (home page; CNCR; maryleelabor record). Each case "is presented in two formats: the database file (with searchable fields) and the narrative describing the struggle as an unfolding story" (CNCR), beside "a more visual representation in the form of an interactive map" (Discuss Data review), and the encyclopedia's account says it "includes a narrative for each case" (Wikipedia, George Lakey). Its case map has a "Filter by Wave of Campaign" running from "Latin American Democracy Campaigns (1944)" to "Arab Awakening (2011)", each case on the map carrying its "Campaign Wave" (case map), and "by pressing each “wave” button one can find cases" (CNCR). The archive reads "the case as the unit that carries a campaign's course in prose, which an event count does not", and the census keeps the database apart as "NOT a database of movements: its unit is the campaign" and "NOT an event count" (maryleelabor record). #1725 states what a case record shows that a measure of conflict does not: the charge that the left infights "measures how much conflict there is", and "At the level of mechanics the case record tells a different story. Disagreement is constant. What varies is the ending, and the endings fall into a small number of forms" (#1725). It states the case record's limit with it: "no cross-organization dataset of left splits, or of minority positions later adopted, was found for any period", and the pattern's "frequency across the left as a whole is unmeasured" (#1725); of this database the census writes that it does not answer "the frequency of nonviolent action in any country or period (the cases are written up one by one)" (maryleelabor record).
Its home page counts "1,200+ cases", "100+ countries" and "400+ years covered", which the census, reading the home page on 31 October 2026, takes as its count, its coverage and its holdings (home page; maryleelabor record). Other counts differ: the Discuss Data review gives "1.300+ total entries", "40 events" of them for Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia, the encyclopedia "over 1,000 researched cases from nearly 200 countries", and CNCR cases "drawn from all continents and most countries" (Discuss Data review, 2025; Wikipedia, George Lakey; CNCR). Its range runs from "a case from ancient Egypt, 12th century BCE" (CNCR) to cases "all the way up to 2019" (Discuss Data review, citing Lakey 2011a). It researches "campaigns that have reached a point of completion" (CNCR, in the database's own first person), and the CNCR card calls its cases "completed nonviolent campaign case studies" (card snippet). "Each campaign is sorted in one (or several) issue “clusters”", and the cases show people "struggling for human rights, economic justice, democracy, national and ethnic identity, environmental sustainability, and peace" (CNCR).
Its definition of nonviolent action, as the Discuss Data review quotes Lakey (2011c), is "[A] technique of struggle that goes beyond institutionalized conflict procedures like law courts and voting", the study of "the methods of protest, noncooperation, and intervention that typically heighten a conflict", which "is not located in the discourse of morality and ethics" and focuses "descriptively on what people do when they use this specific ‘technique of struggle.’" Its summaries are researched to "provide free access to information about hundreds of cases of nonviolent action for learning and for citizen action" and to "make available comparative information that will support researchers and writers to develop strategic knowledge and theory" (CNCR).
It has been "A project of Swarthmore College, 2011-present" (CNCR); Wikipedia has no article under its name, which redirects to George Lakey, an activist and sociologist "who added academic underpinning to the concept of nonviolent revolution", whose article lists it among his works as "Developed by Lakey with Swarthmore College and other university students" (Wikipedia, George Lakey). Students write its cases: "Seventy-six new cases have been added to the Global Nonviolent Action Database by students in the spring semester Strategy and Nonviolent Struggle course at Swarthmore College" (the blog, 2015), a course that "is a research seminar and writing course that contributes to the widely recognized Global Nonviolent Action Database" (the blog, 2017). Lakey's article cites the database's cases for campaigns he took part in, "Puerto Ricans expel United States Navy from Culebra Island, 1970–1974" and "Earth Quaker Action Team Campaigns Against PNC Bank for Financing Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining 2010–2015" among them (Wikipedia, George Lakey).
The census enters it under labor action, "strikes, stoppages and protest events, counted and described", tags it "NOT a labor dataset: labor cases are one part of a database of nonviolent action of every kind", and names among its featured cases "a labor strike (Guatemalan workers at Lunafil)" (maryleelabor record); the home page features "Guatemalan workers at Lunafil strike" and "Macalester students stage sit-in to oppose sweatshop apparel, 2000", and the case map's waves include the "Student Anti-Sweatshop Labor Movement (1990s - 2010s)" and the "Student Living Wage Movement (late 1990s - mid 2000s)" (home page; case map). The archive defines its semantic strike against the class these labor cases belong to: in the "Conventional work stoppage" what stops is "Production", who acts is "Workers against an employer", the success condition is "Concession from management", and it ends when "Demands met" (#1438). It reads the general strike of the enslaved, through Du Bois, in its own terms of noun and verb: "The general strike is the verb withdrawn from the noun's owner. The workers reorganized the topology themselves, by moving", and "The freedpeople's own general strike forced the opening; the settlement closed it toward contract and debt" (#1668).
The home page licenses it "under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license unless otherwise noted", and the census records its holder as "Swarthmore College; licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 unless otherwise noted; the public can suggest a case", its license as stated, and what it keeps as "the record of nonviolent campaigns, written up as cases" (home page; maryleelabor record). Its menu offers "Browse Cases", "Browse Cases by Tags", "View Cases on Map", "Browse Methods" and "Suggest a Case", and "Registered users can login to the website" (home page), which the census records as "public browse and search of cases, tags, methods and map" (maryleelabor record); the Discuss Data review adds that "while the data is freely viewable on the website, it seems that the data is not available for download".
#1725 names the decisive variable in a record of disputes as "what happens to the losing position after the decision", whether the defeated critique kept "an organ in which it could keep being stated, a holder with standing independent of the executive, and a route by which the majority could later adopt it" (#1725). For this database the census records the losing side as "not recorded. A 'Limitations of the Database' page and coding definitions are listed and were not read; the saved pages do not show whether failed campaigns or splits inside campaigns are recorded", its stated limits as that page, and its method as "written case studies coded against definitions" (maryleelabor record), the home page listing "Limitations of the Database", "Coding Definitions" and "Who Made the Database?" (home page). The Discuss Data review of Nathalie Rathkamp (version 1.0, "published: May 8, 2025") lists its methods of data collection as "Desk Research", "Event Data" and "Text Coding"; the census writes that its record settles "how a named nonviolent campaign was conducted, as the case writes it up" and leaves "strikes or campaigns that have no case" and "the positions argued inside a campaign (not shown in the saved pages)" unsettled (Discuss Data review; maryleelabor record).
The census records it "active": "the site answered on 2026-10-31 and takes case suggestions; update dates are not recorded in the saved text", and lists as unchecked "the cases themselves" and "how many cases concern labor" (maryleelabor record); the Discuss Data review wrote that "As of summer 2024, it is not clear whether work on the data collection is continuing", and the blog tags it on events such as "Animating Resistance: Live Cinema Explorations of the Global Nonviolent Action Database" (Discuss Data review; the blog).
At its name, a new address ("the census name; NEW address."), the Overview of 31 October 2026, signed out, gives "its host, its scale, its clusters and how to search it", and the Capture Registry reads it "Faithful on host and scale", with "Swarthmore named; the database's pages among the cards" and "The database reached by name with its host, scope, clusters and tools" (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31). The Capture Registry finds "'400 YEARS' AND 'ANCIENT EGYPT' IN ONE SENTENCE", the rule "'Campaigns, Not Movements' reaches the composition only through a card snippet", and that "The database links a page of its own 'Limitations of the Database' and a Creative Commons license (BY-NC-ND 4.0); the composition carries neither": the composition "leaves out the database's own statement of its unit, limits and license" (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31).

The Global Nonviolent Action Database is a project of Swarthmore College with its Peace and Conflict Studies Program, the Peace Collection and the Lang Center, under the line "Powering Learning about Nonviolent Action" (home page). It is a database of summaries of nonviolent campaigns worldwide (CNCR), of cases of nonviolent civil resistance in narrative form (the Swarthmore blog) and of nonviolent protest actions across the globe (Discuss Data), with information on hundreds of cases (Policy Commons card). Its cases are campaigns and exclude movements: the civil rights movement is no case, the Montgomery Bus Boycott is one (CNCR; the home page's menu; the CNCR card).
Each case is a database file with searchable fields and a narrative of the struggle, beside an interactive map (CNCR; Discuss Data; Wikipedia). The case map groups cases into twelve waves of campaigns, from the Latin American democracy campaigns of 1944 to the Arab Awakening of 2011 (case map; CNCR). It counts 1,200+ cases, 100+ countries and 400+ years (home page), the review 1.300+ entries and the encyclopedia over 1,000 cases from nearly 200 countries, drawn from all continents (Discuss Data; Wikipedia; CNCR). Its cases run from ancient Egypt in the 12th century BCE to 2019, and it researches campaigns that have reached completion (CNCR; Discuss Data). Campaigns are sorted into six issue clusters: democracy, economic justice, environment, human rights, national and ethnic identity, and peace (CNCR).
Lakey's definition, which the review quotes, takes nonviolent action as a technique of struggle beyond courts and voting, described apart from morality and ethics (Discuss Data). It aims at free access for learning and citizen action and at comparative knowledge for researchers and writers (CNCR). Begun in 2011 and developed by George Lakey with students, to whose article its Wikipedia title redirects, it gains cases from the Strategy and Nonviolent Struggle course, and Lakey's article cites its cases for his own campaigns (CNCR; Wikipedia; the blog).
Its labor cases include the Lunafil strike and the waves of the student anti-sweatshop and living-wage movements (home page; case map). It is licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 and browsable by case, tag, map and method, with case suggestions and logins; its data can be viewed and, it seems to the review, cannot be downloaded (home page; Discuss Data). It lists limitations and coding pages; the 2025 review records desk research, event data and text coding, and found it unclear in 2024 whether collection continues, while the blog shows the database in use (home page; Discuss Data; the blog).

E_A, the archive's entity: the same database, in the maryleelabor census record and the archive's deposits: a 'database of case studies of nonviolent action campaigns, browsable by case, tag, method and map', entered under labor action with the case record as its kind of evidence and the campaign as its unit, kept apart from a labor dataset, a database of movements and an event count; whose record is 'the record of nonviolent campaigns, written up as cases', held by Swarthmore College under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, its losing side 'not recorded'; read by the archive as the unit that carries a campaign's course in prose, which an event count does not; its kind, the case record, holding what a count of conflict cannot, how conflict ends, and leaving the frequency of its pattern unmeasured, with the losing position the decisive variable of any record of disputes (#1725); its area, labor action, the work stoppage the archive sets beside its semantic strike (#1438) and the general strike it reads in its terms of noun and verb (#1668); whose composition at its own name leaves out its unit, its limits and its license (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31)
E_F, the field's entity (type C — a conventional reading holds it (public entity: a database of case studies of nonviolent action campaigns)): the database of Swarthmore College, 'a project of Swarthmore College, including the Peace and Conflict Studies Program, the Peace Collection, and the Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility' (home page), since 2011 (CNCR), developed by George Lakey with Swarthmore and other university students (Wikipedia, George Lakey, the title's redirect) and added to by students of the Strategy and Nonviolent Struggle seminar (the blog); whose unit is the campaign, the civil rights movement excluded and the Montgomery Bus Boycott a case (CNCR; the menu's 'Campaigns, Not Movements'), each case a database file with searchable fields and a narrative (CNCR), grouped into waves on a case map, two of them labor waves (case map); researching campaigns that have reached a point of completion (CNCR), 1,200+ cases in 100+ countries over 400+ years (home page; 1.300+ entries in the 2025 review, nearly 200 countries in the encyclopedia), from a case of ancient Egypt to 2019, sorted into six issue clusters; defining nonviolent action as a technique of struggle beyond institutionalized procedures, descriptively (Lakey 2011c, as the review quotes it); licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, viewable and, as the review has it, 'it seems' not downloadable, its continuation unclear as of summer 2024 (Discuss Data); with no Wikipedia article of its own
ρ = extends: The archive reads the Global Nonviolent Action Database as its own pages and the field present it and adds, on the field's own object: what its kind of record, the case, shows that a count of conflict does not, how conflict ends, and the limit that leaves the frequency of a case record's pattern unmeasured; the census's question of the losing side, with the anchor's account of the losing position as the decisive variable of a record of disputes; the reading of labor action, the census's area for it, as the work stoppage set beside the semantic strike and the general strike as labor withdrawn from its owner; the census's answer, field by field, to whose record it keeps and who holds it; and the composition layer's omission, at its name, of its unit, limits and license. . Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more (§1.2a). It does not make the field's sources wrong at their dates. Where an archive claim stands beside a field claim on the same point (ML-21, 'active', beside F33, the review's 'not clear whether work on the data collection is continuing'; ML-13's 1,200+ beside F32's 1.300+ and F43's 'nearly 200 countries'; ML-10's 'not recorded' beside F19's completion rule), both are composed under P_coh within the one ontology. The archive's class claims are claims on the class the field sources (F9, F14 for labor action; F23, F29 for the case record), never on the entity by the composer's judgment.
The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity. The maryleelabor census record describes the database from its home page, each field with its basis ('operator'), and answers for it the census's question, whose record it keeps, who holds it and whether it keeps the losing side in a form that could be taken up later; its reading of its own, ml_reading, takes the case as the unit that carries a campaign's course in prose, which an event count does not, which is the field's own account of the case (B3 F23: a database file and 'the narrative describing the struggle as an unfolding story') carried to the census's question. The capture record checks the composition against the database's pages. No deposit names the entity. The deposits bear on the classes the field sources for it and add senses and limits on the field's own object: the case record shows how conflict ends where a count measures how much there is, and leaves its pattern's frequency unmeasured (#1725); the decisive variable of a record of disputes is the losing position, kept with an organ, a holder and a route (#1725, the census's anchor); labor action, the census's area for it, is the work stoppage the archive defines its semantic strike against (#1438) and the general strike it reads as the verb withdrawn from the noun's owner (#1668). #1438's table sets the archive's sense beside the work stoppage and does not contest it. No defining paper contests the field's ontology of the entity or supplies one the field lacks: ρ = extends, the equal-terms case (§0.9, §1.2a).

The Global Nonviolent Action Database is a project of Swarthmore College with its Peace and Conflict Studies Program, the Peace Collection and the Lang Center, under the line "Powering Learning about Nonviolent Action" (home page). It is a database of summaries of nonviolent campaigns worldwide (CNCR), of cases of nonviolent civil resistance in narrative form (the Swarthmore blog) and of nonviolent protest actions across the globe (Discuss Data), with information on hundreds of cases (Policy Commons card). Its cases are campaigns and exclude movements: the civil rights movement is no case, the Montgomery Bus Boycott is one (CNCR; the home page's menu; the CNCR card). Each case is a database file with searchable fields and a narrative of the struggle, beside an interactive map (CNCR; Discuss Data; Wikipedia). The case map groups cases into twelve waves of campaigns, from the Latin American democracy campaigns of 1944 to the Arab Awakening of 2011 (case map; CNCR). It counts 1,200+ cases, 100+ countries and 400+ years (home page), the review 1.300+ entries and the encyclopedia over 1,000 cases from nearly 200 countries, drawn from all continents (Discuss Data; Wikipedia; CNCR). Its cases run from ancient Egypt in the 12th century BCE to 2019, and it researches campaigns that have reached completion (CNCR; Discuss Data). Campaigns are sorted into six issue clusters: democracy, economic justice, environment, human rights, national and ethnic identity, and peace (CNCR). Lakey's definition, which the review quotes, takes nonviolent action as a technique of struggle beyond courts and voting, described apart from morality and ethics (Discuss Data). It aims at free access for learning and citizen action and at comparative knowledge for researchers and writers (CNCR). Begun in 2011 and developed by George Lakey with students, to whose article its Wikipedia title redirects, it gains cases from the Strategy and Nonviolent Struggle course, and Lakey's article cites its cases for his own campaigns (CNCR; Wikipedia; the blog). Its labor cases include the Lunafil strike and the waves of the student anti-sweatshop and living-wage movements (home page; case map). It is licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 and browsable by case, tag, map and method, with case suggestions and logins; its data can be viewed and, it seems to the review, cannot be downloaded (home page; Discuss Data). It lists limitations and coding pages; the 2025 review records desk research, event data and text coding, and found it unclear in 2024 whether collection continues, while the blog shows the database in use (home page; Discuss Data; the blog).
The Global Nonviolent Action Database, known as GNAD, is a "database of case studies of nonviolent action campaigns, browsable by case, tag, method and map" (maryleelabor record), which its home page calls "a project of Swarthmore College, including the Peace and Conflict Studies Program, the Peace Collection, and the Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility", under the line "Powering Learning about Nonviolent Action" (home page). CNCR describes it as "A database of over 1000 summaries of nonviolent campaigns worldwide", the Swarthmore Peace & Conflict Studies blog as one that "presents cases of nonviolent civil resistance from around the world, spanning decades and even hundreds of years", the Discuss Data review as reporting "on cases of nonviolent protest actions taken across the globe", and the Policy Commons card as providing "access to information about hundreds of cases of nonviolent action" (CNCR; the blog; Discuss Data review, 2025; Policy Commons card). The maryleelabor census, anchored on #1725, asks of it "Whose record does it keep, who holds it, and does it keep the losing side in a form that could be taken up later?", and enters it under labor action with "case record" as its kind of evidence (maryleelabor record). Its unit is the campaign: the home page's menu carries a page titled "Campaigns, Not Movements", and CNCR states the rule, "the case studies included are indeed, campaigns, and not movements. For example, “the civil rights movement” is not included, but the Montgomery Bus Boycott is a case", which CNCR's card gives as "excluding broad moveme..." and the census records as "a case: a nonviolent action campaign (a menu page is titled 'Campaigns, Not Movements'), linked to the methods it used" (home page; CNCR; maryleelabor record). Each case "is presented in two formats: the database file (with searchable fields) and the narrative describing the struggle as an unfolding story" (CNCR), beside "a more visual representation in the form of an interactive map" (Discuss Data review), and the encyclopedia's account says it "includes a narrative for each case" (Wikipedia, George Lakey). Its case map has a "Filter by Wave of Campaign" running from "Latin American Democracy Campaigns (1944)" to "Arab Awakening (2011)", each case on the map carrying its "Campaign Wave" (case map), and "by pressing each “wave” button one can find cases" (CNCR). The archive reads "the case as the unit that carries a campaign's course in prose, which an event count does not", and the census keeps the database apart as "NOT a database of movements: its unit is the campaign" and "NOT an event count" (maryleelabor record). #1725 states what a case record shows that a measure of conflict does not: the charge that the left infights "measures how much conflict there is", and "At the level of mechanics the case record tells a different story. Disagreement is constant. What varies is the ending, and the endings fall into a small number of forms" (#1725). It states the case record's limit with it: "no cross-organization dataset of left splits, or of minority positions later adopted, was found for any period", and the pattern's "frequency across the left as a whole is unmeasured" (#1725); of this database the census writes that it does not answer "the frequency of nonviolent action in any country or period (the cases are written up one by one)" (maryleelabor record). Its home page counts "1,200+ cases", "100+ countries" and "400+ years covered", which the census, reading the home page on 31 October 2026, takes as its count, its coverage and its holdings (home page; maryleelabor record). Other counts differ: the Discuss Data review gives "1.300+ total entries", "40 events" of them for Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia, the encyclopedia "over 1,000 researched cases from nearly 200 countries", and CNCR cases "drawn from all continents and most countries" (Discuss Data review, 2025; Wikipedia, George Lakey; CNCR). Its range runs from "a case from ancient Egypt, 12th century BCE" (CNCR) to cases "all the way up to 2019" (Discuss Data review, citing Lakey 2011a). It researches "campaigns that have reached a point of completion" (CNCR, in the database's own first person), and the CNCR card calls its cases "completed nonviolent campaign case studies" (card snippet). "Each campaign is sorted in one (or several) issue “clusters”", and the cases show people "struggling for human rights, economic justice, democracy, national and ethnic identity, environmental sustainability, and peace" (CNCR). Its definition of nonviolent action, as the Discuss Data review quotes Lakey (2011c), is "[A] technique of struggle that goes beyond institutionalized conflict procedures like law courts and voting", the study of "the methods of protest, noncooperation, and intervention that typically heighten a conflict", which "is not located in the discourse of morality and ethics" and focuses "descriptively on what people do when they use this specific ‘technique of struggle.’" Its summaries are researched to "provide free access to information about hundreds of cases of nonviolent action for learning and for citizen action" and to "make available comparative information that will support researchers and writers to develop strategic knowledge and theory" (CNCR). It has been "A project of Swarthmore College, 2011-present" (CNCR); Wikipedia has no article under its name, which redirects to George Lakey, an activist and sociologist "who added academic underpinning to the concept of nonviolent revolution", whose article lists it among his works as "Developed by Lakey with Swarthmore College and other university students" (Wikipedia, George Lakey). Students write its cases: "Seventy-six new cases have been added to the Global Nonviolent Action Database by students in the spring semester Strategy and Nonviolent Struggle course at Swarthmore College" (the blog, 2015), a course that "is a research seminar and writing course that contributes to the widely recognized Global Nonviolent Action Database" (the blog, 2017). Lakey's article cites the database's cases for campaigns he took part in, "Puerto Ricans expel United States Navy from Culebra Island, 1970–1974" and "Earth Quaker Action Team Campaigns Against PNC Bank for Financing Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining 2010–2015" among them (Wikipedia, George Lakey). The census enters it under labor action, "strikes, stoppages and protest events, counted and described", tags it "NOT a labor dataset: labor cases are one part of a database of nonviolent action of every kind", and names among its featured cases "a labor strike (Guatemalan workers at Lunafil)" (maryleelabor record); the home page features "Guatemalan workers at Lunafil strike" and "Macalester students stage sit-in to oppose sweatshop apparel, 2000", and the case map's waves include the "Student Anti-Sweatshop Labor Movement (1990s - 2010s)" and the "Student Living Wage Movement (late 1990s - mid 2000s)" (home page; case map). The archive defines its semantic strike against the class these labor cases belong to: in the "Conventional work stoppage" what stops is "Production", who acts is "Workers against an employer", the success condition is "Concession from management", and it ends when "Demands met" (#1438). It reads the general strike of the enslaved, through Du Bois, in its own terms of noun and verb: "The general strike is the verb withdrawn from the noun's owner. The workers reorganized the topology themselves, by moving", and "The freedpeople's own general strike forced the opening; the settlement closed it toward contract and debt" (#1668). The home page licenses it "under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license unless otherwise noted", and the census records its holder as "Swarthmore College; licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 unless otherwise noted; the public can suggest a case", its license as stated, and what it keeps as "the record of nonviolent campaigns, written up as cases" (home page; maryleelabor record). Its menu offers "Browse Cases", "Browse Cases by Tags", "View Cases on Map", "Browse Methods" and "Suggest a Case", and "Registered users can login to the website" (home page), which the census records as "public browse and search of cases, tags, methods and map" (maryleelabor record); the Discuss Data review adds that "while the data is freely viewable on the website, it seems that the data is not available for download". #1725 names the decisive variable in a record of disputes as "what happens to the losing position after the decision", whether the defeated critique kept "an organ in which it could keep being stated, a holder with standing independent of the executive, and a route by which the majority could later adopt it" (#1725). For this database the census records the losing side as "not recorded. A 'Limitations of the Database' page and coding definitions are listed and were not read; the saved pages do not show whether failed campaigns or splits inside campaigns are recorded", its stated limits as that page, and its method as "written case studies coded against definitions" (maryleelabor record), the home page listing "Limitations of the Database", "Coding Definitions" and "Who Made the Database?" (home page). The Discuss Data review of Nathalie Rathkamp (version 1.0, "published: May 8, 2025") lists its methods of data collection as "Desk Research", "Event Data" and "Text Coding"; the census writes that its record settles "how a named nonviolent campaign was conducted, as the case writes it up" and leaves "strikes or campaigns that have no case" and "the positions argued inside a campaign (not shown in the saved pages)" unsettled (Discuss Data review; maryleelabor record). The census records it "active": "the site answered on 2026-10-31 and takes case suggestions; update dates are not recorded in the saved text", and lists as unchecked "the cases themselves" and "how many cases concern labor" (maryleelabor record); the Discuss Data review wrote that "As of summer 2024, it is not clear whether work on the data collection is continuing", and the blog tags it on events such as "Animating Resistance: Live Cinema Explorations of the Global Nonviolent Action Database" (Discuss Data review; the blog). At its name, a new address ("the census name; NEW address."), the Overview of 31 October 2026, signed out, gives "its host, its scale, its clusters and how to search it", and the Capture Registry reads it "Faithful on host and scale", with "Swarthmore named; the database's pages among the cards" and "The database reached by name with its host, scope, clusters and tools" (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31). The Capture Registry finds "'400 YEARS' AND 'ANCIENT EGYPT' IN ONE SENTENCE", the rule "'Campaigns, Not Movements' reaches the composition only through a card snippet", and that "The database links a page of its own 'Limitations of the Database' and a Creative Commons license (BY-NC-ND 4.0); the composition carries neither": the composition "leaves out the database's own statement of its unit, limits and license" (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31).
T against L_F(B) (AIO's ontology at work on its own cards): At 'Global Nonviolent Action Database' (T1, six cards: B1–B6, B5 unreachable; 165 words in the answer body and a closing offer) the composition gives the database's host, scale, clusters, waves, search and origin. Composed from its cards: the counts at the home page's grain (B1 F3 '1,200+ cases … 100+ countries … 400+ years covered', as 'more than 1,200 …, from over 100 countries' and 'spanning over 400 years'); the operator's three bodies (B1 F2), with 'hosted by' for the home page's 'a project of'; 'free' from CNCR's 'provide free access' (B3 F18); 'nonviolent campaign case studies' (B3 F16); the clusters at CNCR's own resolution, with a marker (B3 F21, F26); the case from 'ancient Egypt, 12th century BCE' (B3 F24; B4 F28); search 'by country, issue, tactic, year' (B3 F24, its 'action method used' given as 'tactic'), 'narratives and database files' (B3 F23) and 'an interactive global map' (B2 F12; B4 F29); 'Founded in 2011' (B3 F27, '2011-present'); five of the twelve waves (B2 F13: civil rights, apartheid divestment, Soviet bloc, colour revolutions, fossil fuel divestment); 'student seminars' at the grain of the blog card (B6 F38). Available, not composed: the tagline (B1 F1); the license (B1 F4) and the limitations page (B1 F7), as the Capture Registry finds (CAP-1-06); the menu page 'Campaigns, Not Movements' (B1 F6) and CNCR's statement of the rule with its examples (B3 F17), which reach T only as the CNCR card's 'excluding broad moveme...' (F48; CAP-1-05); the coding, citation and makers pages (B1 F11); the case suggestion and the login (B1 F5, F10); the browse by tags and methods (B1 F8); the featured cases, the Lunafil strike among them (B1 F9); the two labor waves, the student anti-sweatshop and living-wage movements (B2 F14), with five further waves; the wave a case carries on the map (B2 F15) and the wave button (B3 F25); the second purpose, comparative knowledge (B3 F22); the cases' reach, 'all continents and most countries' (B3 F20); the definition of nonviolent action and its author (B4 F30, F31, 'Lakey 2011c'); the review's 1.300+ entries and 40 events for its region (B4 F32), its methods of data collection (B4 F35) and its own date and author (B4 F36); the Policy Commons snippet (B5 F37); the blog's own description of the cases (B6 F39), the 2017 course (B6 F40) and the live-cinema use (B6 F41). Limit dropped: T1-1 composes the case studies without CNCR's restriction to 'campaigns that have reached a point of completion' (B3 F19) and the CNCR card's own 'completed' (F48); T1-5 composes the search and the map without the review's 'it seems that the data is not available for download' (B4 F34); T1-6 composes the founding and the collaboration without the review's 'As of summer 2024, it is not clear whether work on the data collection is continuing' (B4 F33). Substituted reading: T1-4's 'Tracks specific historical movements like the U.S. Civil Rights Movement' composes the waves as movements the database tracks; on card 3 'the case studies included are indeed, campaigns, and not movements', with 'the civil rights movement' named as 'not included' (B3 F17), and a wave is a grouping of campaigns whose button finds cases (B3 F25; B2 F15). Two claims joined in one sentence: T1-2 joins the home page's '400+ years covered' (B1 F3) to CNCR's single case from 'ancient Egypt, 12th century BCE' (B3 F24), as the Capture Registry finds (CAP-1-04); each figure is a card's, and the home page's '400+' is open at its upper end. Composed without attribution: none at a source's resolution without markers; the definition's author, George Lakey, cited on card 4 ('Lakey 2011a', 'Lakey 2011c'), is named nowhere in T. Content replaced by use: T1-7, the closing offer. Outside the cards: 'hosted by' (B1: 'a project of'); 'substantial' research contributions (no field claim measures them); 'tactic' (the cards give 'action method used', B3 F24, and 'Browse Methods', B1 F8). Not surfaced, admitted to B by the operator's ruling: Wikipedia, whose title for the name redirects to George Lakey (B7 F42, F46), with 'over 1,000 researched cases from nearly 200 countries' (F43), 'includes a narrative for each case' (F44), 'Developed by Lakey with Swarthmore College and other university students' (F45) and the database's cases cited for its developer's own campaigns (F47). Of the cards' 42 readable claims, T composes 14 at their grain or coarser.
L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): Admission adds, in one claim space with the field's: the census's question and its anchor (ML-26, ML-27) and the record's answer for the database, field by field with its basis (ML-01–ML-25): its kind, its unit and its kind of evidence (ML-01, ML-05, ML-06), the archive's reading of the case as the unit that carries a campaign's course in prose (ML-18), the tags that keep it apart from a labor dataset, a database of movements and an event count (ML-22–ML-24), whose record it keeps and who holds it (ML-08, ML-09), its losing side 'not recorded' (ML-10), held beside CNCR's completion rule (F19); #1725's account of what a case record shows, how conflict ends (O1725-01, O1725-02), its limit, frequency unmeasured (O1725-03), set beside the census's 'does not answer' (ML-17), and the decisive variable, the losing position with its organ, holder and route (O1725-04); labor action as the census's area (ML-04, ML-28), the work stoppage against which the archive defines its semantic strike (O1438-01), and the general strike read as the verb withdrawn from the noun's owner (O1668-01, O1668-02), placed after the field's labor cases (F9, F14); the lifecycle 'active' (ML-21) held beside the review's doubt (F33); and the Capture Registry's account of the composition at the name (CAP-1-01–CAP-1-10). Not surfaced: every archive source; no card cites the census record (the cards are the database's own pages and four third parties, CAP-1-07).
