Description
Preserve an explicit regnal-year transcription and accession convention.
Historical records separate source readings, remembered dates, documentary dates, place identifiers and editorial conventions. Supplied certainty or witness labels are annotations rather than authenticated evidence. Original spellings, calendar styles and accession-year conventions need their documentary context before chronological interpretation.
Preserve an explicit regnal-year transcription and accession convention.
When to use this tool
Use Regnal Accession Partial Year Source Tag when you already have recordId, regnalYearText, accessionYearConvention and need to preserve an explicit regnal-year transcription and accession convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recordId, regnalYearText, accessionYearConvention. 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 recordId, regnalYearText, accessionYearConvention 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 |

| regnalYearText | Regnal Year Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| accessionYearConvention | Accession Year Convention | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

"input": {

}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without inferring sovereign chronology. 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 source, edition and provenance for a historical claim. Apply an appropriate calendar or documentary analysis when actual conversion, identity or interpretation is needed; a transcription key or uncertainty marker does not establish those results.
