Description
Map a source type-status token through a supplied vocabulary.
Taxonomic names, authorship strings, nomenclatural types and source-defined taxon concepts are related but distinct records. A literal token parser or source-label comparison can preserve a stated convention without resolving accepted taxonomy or establishing compliance with the applicable nomenclatural code.
Map a source type-status token through a supplied vocabulary.
When to use this tool
Use Nomenclatural Type Status Source Token when checking the stated taxonomic source, name-token, date or concept-support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter token, sourceTokens, normalizedTokens, code, edition. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read status, sourceKey. Use the output convention below.
Map a source type-status token through a supplied vocabulary. Require aligned source/normalized tokens, unique source tokens, nonempty code/edition and a recognized input token; return normalized status and JSON source key.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| normalizedTokens | Normalized Tokens | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| code | Code | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| edition | Edition | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The mapping and code labels are supplied; no nomenclatural status, valid designation or source authority is established.
- 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 the original taxonomic treatment and applicable nomenclatural code, and use source-aware taxonomic resolution for accepted names, priority or type status.
