Theoretical Term Sense Index Token Tool

Preserve a caller-annotated source-specific term sense without defining the term.

Description

Create an unambiguous source-term-sense record key.

Scholarly annotation can preserve term senses, agent roles and source frames using explicit labels. Literal agreement, a recognized marker or an unambiguous record key organizes those assertions without establishing their meaning, truth or scholarly authority.

Create an unambiguous source-term-sense record key.

When to use this tool

Use Theoretical Term Sense Index Token when checking one explicit annotation, marker or source-identity convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter term, senseIndex, source. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read key. Use the output convention below.

Create an unambiguous source-term-sense record key. Require nonempty term/source and nonnegative whole senseIndex; key is the JSON serialization of [source,term,senseIndex].1

  },
  "output": {
    "key": "[\"essay-A\",\"agency\",2]"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • This preserves literal labels, without resolving term meaning, source authority or a scholarly identifier.
  • 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.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Inspect the source text and interpretive framework for substantive analysis; use source-aware annotation and bibliographic tools for complete records.
