Description
Serialize a source-qualified kin term.
Anthropological records depend on source-specific labels, observation periods, coding choices and participant context. A ratio, cyclic index or kinship-code offset describes supplied data rather than identifying a social relationship or cultural meaning. Replacing names with aliases does not establish anonymity.
Serialize a source-qualified kin term.
When to use this tool
Use Kin Term Source Namespace when checking the stated observation, coding, chronology or record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter term, source, namespace. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read qualifiedKey. Use the output convention below.
Serialize a source-qualified kin term. qualifiedKey = JSON.stringify([source,namespace,term]).1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| term | Term | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| source | Source | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| namespace | Namespace | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| qualifiedKey | Qualified Key | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"term": "term-A",
"source": "interview-7",
"namespace": "speaker-2"
},
"output": {
"qualifiedKey": "[\"interview-7\",\"speaker-2\",\"term-A\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Literal namespacing does not translate a term, resolve meaning or authenticate ethnographic sources or relationships.
- 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 the original field records, community context and appropriate ethical/privacy practices for cultural interpretation or disclosure decisions.
