Description
Record a supplied regional name and explicit scope code.
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.
Record a supplied regional name and explicit scope code.
When to use this tool
Use Regional Name Political Geographic Scope Label when you already have regionId, suppliedName, scopeCode and need to record a supplied regional name and explicit scope code.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter regionId, suppliedName, scopeCode. 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 regionId, suppliedName, scopeCode 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 |

| regionId | Region Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedName | Supplied Name | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| scopeCode | Scope Code | 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": {
"regionId": "R17",
"suppliedName": "Northern region",
"scopeCode": "geographic"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"R17\",\"Northern region\",\"geographic\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without equating geographic and political boundaries. 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.
