Description
Attach a supplied legal-deposit year to a publication record.
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.
Attach a supplied legal-deposit year to a publication record.

- 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 publication ID, supplied deposit-year text and source. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1

{
"input": {
"publicationId": "PUB17",
"suppliedDepositYear": "1950",
"source": "Source A"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"PUB17\",\"1950\",\"Source A\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The year is not parsed and no publication, legal-deposit event or applicable legal obligation is verified.
- 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
