Description
Record the subitem suffix of a European archive identifier.
European archival and institutional records connect historical currency wording, degree abbreviations, editions, annexes and item locators. Literal labels can preserve provenance without establishing legal applicability, qualification equivalence or source authenticity. Bilingual display is also distinct from translation.
Record the subitem suffix of a European archive identifier.
When to use this tool
Use European Archive Item Subitem Suffix when checking the stated archival, publication or institutional-record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter archiveId, itemText, subitemText. 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 nonempty archive ID, item text and subitem text. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| archiveId | Archive Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| itemText | Item Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| subitemText | Subitem Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"archiveId": "AR17",
"itemText": "42",
"subitemText": "b"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"AR17\",\"42\",\"b\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The suffix and archive identity are preserved without parsing, resolving a locator or verifying an actual item.
- 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 original archives, authoritative current institutional/legal sources and appropriate historical context for substantive interpretation or rights decisions.
