Description
Qualify an explicit nomenclatural type-status code by source.
Taxonomic records preserve author wording, publication sources, parent assignments and nomenclatural context. Parenthesizing an author is a formatting choice, and a supplied year field need not be restricted to modern calendar years. A source-qualified relationship does not establish accepted classification, valid publication or identity.
Qualify an explicit nomenclatural type-status code by source.
When to use this tool
Use Nomenclature Type Status Code when you already have specimenId, suppliedTypeCode, codeSource and need to qualify an explicit nomenclatural type-status code by source.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter specimenId, suppliedTypeCode, codeSource. 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 specimenId, suppliedTypeCode, codeSource 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 |
|---|---|---|
| specimenId | Specimen Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedTypeCode | Supplied Type Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| codeSource | Code Source | 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": {
"specimenId": "SP17",
"suppliedTypeCode": "TYPE2",
"codeSource": "Catalogue A"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"SP17\",\"TYPE2\",\"Catalogue A\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without assigning type status. 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 the relevant specimens, original publications and controlled nomenclatural sources. Use complete taxonomic evidence and applicable codes for a classification decision; local formatting and keys do not adjudicate names or relationships.
