Description
Preserve supplied collector wording and collection-number text as a pair.
Botanical observations distinguish specimen provenance, sampling states, germination records, image area and category vocabularies. Excluded observations differ from failed germination, and a pixel-area calibration must use an area ratio rather than a length ratio. Source-qualified labels preserve reported identifications without confirming them.
Preserve supplied collector wording and collection-number text as a pair.
When to use this tool
Use Herbarium Collector Number Token when you already have collectorWording, collectionNumber and need to preserve supplied collector wording and collection-number text as a pair.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter collectorWording, collectionNumber. 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.
Require both nonempty; serialize [collectorWording,collectionNumber] as JSON-array text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| collectorWording | Collector Wording | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| collectionNumber | Collection Number | 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": {
"collectorWording": "Collector A",
"collectionNumber": "017"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"Collector A\",\"017\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Number text is not parsed. No collector, specimen, numbering system, uniqueness or actual collection is 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 the original specimens, observation logs, calibrated images and taxonomic sources. Use the complete survey or experimental method for biological interpretation; local fractions and record checks do not infer unobserved states or mechanisms.
