Description
Serialize an era-label source identifier.
Language and manuscript records use explicit source labels, scripts, era-year conventions and text/area units. A literal split, Unicode slot or page-area calculation preserves supplied notation without resolving pronunciation, historical dates, manuscript identity or conservation needs.
Serialize an era-label source identifier.
When to use this tool
Use Era Label Source Identifier when checking the stated language, manuscript, era-label or Unicode convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter eraLabel, source, edition. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read identifier. Use the output convention below.
Serialize an era-label source identifier. identifier = JSON.stringify([source,edition,eraLabel]).1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| eraLabel | Era Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| source | Source | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| edition | Edition | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| identifier | Identifier | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"eraLabel": "Era A",
"source": "register-4",
"edition": "edition-2"
},
"output": {
"identifier": "[\"register-4\",\"edition-2\",\"Era A\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Literal identity does not authenticate an edition, historical era or date conversion.
- 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 the original text/manuscript and its documented language, edition, calendar and encoding conventions for substantive linguistic, historical or conservation interpretation.
