Description
Choose a supplied formal name or pseudonym for display.
Art records distinguish inscriptions, source readings, edition states, provenance dates and authority identifiers. A recorded signature is not authenticated authorship, and a possible-date span is not a probability distribution. Linear impression/plate ratios preserve selected geometry without establishing edition identity or value.
Choose a supplied formal name or pseudonym for display.
When to use this tool
Use Artist Authority Pseudonym Display Choice when you already have authorityId, formalName, suppliedPseudonym, displayPseudonym and need to choose a supplied formal name or pseudonym for display.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter authorityId, formalName, suppliedPseudonym, displayPseudonym. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read displayName, authorityKey. Use the output convention below.
Require authorityId, formalName and suppliedPseudonym nonempty; select name using displayPseudonym and return the authorityId unchanged.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Both names are required even when one is not displayed. No authority lookup, person identification, privacy protection, naming preference or rights are verified.
- 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
Inspect original works, source documents, catalogues and relevant authority records. Use the complete provenance and scholarly assessment for attribution, chronology or rights; local labels and ratios do not make those determinations.
