Description

Qualify an explicit media edition by supplied region and version.

Media records distinguish credited roles, permission labels, source versions, viewing-time overlap and platform rating scales. Simultaneous exposure must be counted once for union time, while normalized ratings remain positions on supplied scales. A recorded production or publication label does not verify authenticity, attention or rights.

Qualify an explicit media edition by supplied region and version.

When to use this tool

Use Media Edition Regional Version Suffix when you already have workId, regionLabel, versionSuffix and need to qualify an explicit media edition by supplied region and version.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter workId, regionLabel, versionSuffix. 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 workId, regionLabel, versionSuffix 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": {
    "workId": "W17",
    "regionLabel": "Region A",
    "versionSuffix": "v2"
  },
  "output": {
    "token": "[\"W17\",\"Region A\",\"v2\"]"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without determining territorial availability. 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

Inspect the original program, source record, credit and permission documentation when attribution or publication matters. Use the complete diary or rating methodology for audience analysis, preserving overlap, scale and denominator definitions.
