Description
Build an edition-qualified citation locator from explicit work, edition and locator text.
Critical annotations distinguish source voices, editorial insertions, omission markers, edition locators and caller-assigned interpretations. Case preservation and half-open text offsets describe representation rather than meaning. A bracketed token or source-role label does not verify faithful quotation, authority, an argument or its historical context.
Build an edition-qualified citation locator from explicit work, edition and locator text.
When to use this tool
Use Citation Locator Edition Disambiguator when you already have workId, editionId, locator and need to build an edition-qualified citation locator from explicit work, edition and locator text.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter workId, editionId, locator. 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 workId, editionId, locator 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 |
|---|---|---|
| workId | Work Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| editionId | Edition Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| locator | Locator | 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": {
"workId": "W17",
"editionId": "E4",
"locator": "p. 24"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"W17\",\"E4\",\"p. 24\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The record preserves supplied identifiers, wording and provenance; it does not authenticate the source, resolve an identifier, retrieve evidence or verify the asserted relationship.
- 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
Read the original passage and relevant edition with the stated interpretive and editorial conventions. Verify source context and attribution before reuse; local span labels and interpretation-objection pair keys organize records without evaluating the argument or granting quotation rights.
