The documentation uses the word "claim" to refer to an entry in the census. This is used in the census service documentation and other parts where the census is mentioned. The meaning of the word "claim" is not defined in the documentation, and it's not clear to me what it means. Who is claiming something? Maybe this comes from the iden3 codebase where an identity is defined as a merkle tree of claims made by the identity?

In any case, I think it would be much clear to use a different name like: "entry" in the census.

I'd guess @p4u or @brickpop first used this word.. Could you explain its usage and whether entry could be a better alternative?

There is no point for using claim anymore, we took it from iden3 but we are not longer attached to it
