Identity

Aliases resolved to people, with the binding that proves it.

Every edge comes from a line that appears verbatim in the corpus. Ambiguity stays visible.

Every alias comes from a real Name <email> binding in a source document. An alias that maps to more than one person stays ambiguous — Canon never silently merges two people who share a name.

RESOLVED0

An email address bound to exactly one person by an explicit Name <email> line in a source document.

PROBABLE0

A name spelling or email local part that maps to exactly one person, inferred from the bindings rather than stated directly.

AMBIGUOUS0

The alias maps to more than one person, usually the same name at different organisations. Canon keeps them separate and never merges them.

Aliases are extracted from real Name <email> bindings in the corpus. The graph materialises a stratified sample, so the counts here are smaller than the corpus totals; both are reported.
