Description

Qualify an explicit digraph collation label by source version.

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 explicit digraph collation label by source version.

When to use this tool

Use African Language Digraph Collation Token when you already have suppliedDigraph, suppliedCollationLabel, sourceVersion and need to qualify an explicit digraph collation label by source version.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter suppliedDigraph, suppliedCollationLabel, sourceVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter suppliedDigraph, suppliedCollationLabel, sourceVersion 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

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without inventing a language-specific ordering. 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.
