Description
Preserve an explicit text-span voice attribution and source.
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.
Preserve an explicit text-span voice attribution and source.
When to use this tool
Use Source Voice Attribution Span when you already have sourceId, spanLocator, suppliedVoice and need to preserve an explicit text-span voice attribution and source.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sourceId, spanLocator, suppliedVoice. 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 sourceId, spanLocator, suppliedVoice 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 |
|---|---|---|
| sourceId | Source Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| spanLocator | Span Locator | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedVoice | Supplied Voice | 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": {
"sourceId": "S17",
"spanLocator": "lines 4-6",
"suppliedVoice": "narrator"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"S17\",\"lines 4-6\",\"narrator\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without inferring speaker identity. 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
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.
