 In the CERL Thesaurus there are descriptions for four different types of entities: Places (primarily places of printing, but also places of manuscript writing or places where persons were active or corporate bodies were located), Imprint names (all names that might appear in an imprint of a book and that do not denote any type of intellecutal responsibility for the content of it, i.e. primarily printers, but also publishers, booksellers, illustrators etc), corporate entities and persons (both can either have had the intellectual responsibility for a book's content or have been owners of books). In the CERL Thesaurus there are descriptions for four different types of entities: Places (primarily places of printing, but also places of manuscript writing or places where persons were active or corporate bodies were located), Imprint names (all names that might appear in an imprint of a book and that do not denote any type of intellecutal responsibility for the content of it, i.e. primarily printers, but also publishers, booksellers, illustrators etc), corporate entities and persons (both can either have had the intellectual responsibility for a book's content or have been owners of books).
  
 +The information which type of entity a record is about is hidden in the record ID's prefix. If you use the form-based editor to create a new record, you should select the type of entity from the drop-down labelled "Type of Entity" (2nd from the top) - if you edit an existing record this drop-down has no effect at all (i.e. you cannot change the entity type by just setting it to a new value).

 To find potential duplicates, search for ''dedup:'' and the record type, e.g. ''dedup:cnp'' for persons. You may combine it with something useful to get smaller resultsets, for example: ''external_id:gnd AND dedup:cnp'' to limit the set to records from the GND file. To find potential duplicates, search for ''dedup:'' and the record type, e.g. ''dedup:cnp'' for persons.

 //**Please note:** If there are many duplicate candidates it might be easier to check the records one by one. To do that, you start with “Hide all” (which turns all candidates grey) and then re‐activate the first candidate and see if it is a duplicate or not. If it’s not, uncheck it and go to the next. If it is, you could click the other button next to the check mark (the one with the three stripes on it) to switch the record’s colour to white before you proceed with the next record. So you’d know that everything that’s white is checked and “ok” and the amount of different colours is a little less confusing.// //**Please note:** If there are many duplicate candidates it might be easier to check the records one by one.
