In both cases, a conceptually representative word will be used (for example: "Artificial Intelligence" or "Heritage Vineyards". Then the differential word will be added: “blind” or "author". The first file will have the name "Artificial Intelligence-blind". And the second one will be called "Artificial Intelligence-author".

 The blind version must avoid any reference that allows to know the identity of the authors, such as expressions that refer to other works by the same author, etc.
