Description
Qualify an explicitly supplied archival stamp transcription by document.
African archival and cultural records preserve supplied language, scripts, documentary roles, coordinate captions and uncertain historical readings. A collation label does not sort text, and a transfer-date token does not establish an actual transfer or rights. Source context and community meanings remain essential.
Qualify an explicitly supplied archival stamp transcription by document.
When to use this tool
Use African Archive Document Stamp Transcription Key when you already have archiveId, documentId, suppliedStampTranscription and need to qualify an explicitly supplied archival stamp transcription by document.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter archiveId, documentId, suppliedStampTranscription. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter archiveId, documentId, suppliedStampTranscription using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| archiveId | Archive Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| documentId | Document Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedStampTranscription | Supplied Stamp Transcription | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"archiveId": "AR17",
"documentId": "DOC2",
"suppliedStampTranscription": "Stamp reading A"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"AR17\",\"DOC2\",\"Stamp reading A\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without deciphering or authenticating the stamp. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult original archives, publications, object records and permission sources. Verify documentary context, language conventions and rights before using local tokens to support historical, cultural or legal interpretations.
