Description

Preserve literal historical occupation wording and a source identifier.

Historical economic records depend on archival wording, accounting signs, local units, assigned values, denominations and date precision. A wage-day ratio is a comparison of supplied amounts rather than actual labor time. Preserving an account-year label or unit factor does not authenticate a historical price, practice or legal obligation.

Preserve literal historical occupation wording and a source identifier.

When to use this tool

Use Historical Occupation Source Code when you already have personRecordCode, occupationWording, sourceId and need to preserve literal historical occupation wording and a source identifier.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter personRecordCode, occupationWording, sourceId. 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 token. Use the output convention below.

Enter personRecordCode, occupationWording, sourceId 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

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without classifying social status or modern occupation codes. 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 original ledger, archive and historical unit or monetary definitions when reconstructing an account. Reconcile period, commodity quality, currency and source corrections before comparing values; local labels and supplied conversions preserve only their declared assumptions.
