Description
Preserve a local numeric transcription and explicit formatting note.
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 a local numeric transcription and explicit formatting note.
When to use this tool
Use Area Study Local Number Format Token when you already have sourceId, suppliedNumberText, formatNote and need to preserve a local numeric transcription and explicit formatting note.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sourceId, suppliedNumberText, formatNote. 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 sourceId, suppliedNumberText, formatNote 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 |
|---|---|---|
| sourceId | Source Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedNumberText | Supplied Number Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| formatNote | Format Note | 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": {
"sourceId": "S17",
"suppliedNumberText": "1.234,5",
"formatNote": "dot grouping, comma decimal"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"S17\",\"1.234,5\",\"dot grouping, comma decimal\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without guessing or coercing a number. 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 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.
