Description
Classify empty suffix as none, ASCII digits as numeric, ASCII letters as alphabetic, and all other text as mixed.
Catalog identifiers and labels follow local formatting conventions. Splitting or recognizing a token's shape preserves structure without establishing that its identifier or classification is valid.
Classify empty suffix as none, ASCII digits as numeric, ASCII letters as alphabetic, and all other text as mixed.
When to use this tool
Use Accession Suffix Type Token when you need one explicit catalog-label parsing or formatting step.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter suffix. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read kind. Use the output convention below.
Classify empty suffix as none, ASCII digits as numeric, ASCII letters as alphabetic, and all other text as mixed.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| suffix | Suffix | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| kind | Kind | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"suffix": "002"
},
"output": {
"kind": "numeric"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Mixed includes whitespace and non-ASCII text; the category does not establish accession validity.
- 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 cataloging scheme and source record before assigning semantic meaning or a filing order.
