Description
Preserve an explicit map coordinate-reference caption and source.
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.
Preserve an explicit map coordinate-reference caption and source.
When to use this tool
Use African Map Coordinate Reference Caption when you already have mapId, suppliedCoordinateCaption, referenceSource and need to preserve an explicit map coordinate-reference caption and source.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter mapId, suppliedCoordinateCaption, referenceSource. 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 mapId, suppliedCoordinateCaption, referenceSource 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 |
|---|---|---|
| mapId | Map Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedCoordinateCaption | Supplied Coordinate Caption | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| referenceSource | Reference Source | 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. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without assigning a coordinate system. 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.
