Description
Preserve supplied archive and place-authority identifiers.
Regional sources preserve geographic scope, language coverage, boundary vintages, archive identifiers and historical wording. A statistic year can differ from its boundary year, and a source-access label does not grant reuse rights. Literal names and transliterations require their own documentary context.
Preserve supplied archive and place-authority identifiers.
When to use this tool
Use Archive Place Authority Key when you already have placeAuthority, placeId, archiveId and need to preserve supplied archive and place-authority identifiers.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter placeAuthority, placeId, archiveId. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read key. Use the output convention below.
Require all strings nonempty; serialize [archiveId,placeAuthority,placeId] in that order.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| placeAuthority | Place Authority | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| placeId | Place Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| archiveId | Archive Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| key | JSON [archiveId,placeAuthority,placeId], with archive first. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"placeAuthority": "gazetteer-A",
"placeId": "P17",
"archiveId": "AR3"
},
"output": {
"key": "[\"AR3\",\"gazetteer-A\",\"P17\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No identifier is resolved and no archive, place, jurisdiction or authority relationship is 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 datasets, maps, archives and language sources. Verify geography, period, translation and permissions before using local identifiers or labels to support historical, political or statistical interpretations.
