Description
Qualify an explicitly transcribed manuscript rubric by locator.
Historical sources may use edition-specific locators, parallel date systems, name variants and uncertain readings. A supplied presence flag differs from an observed document feature, and display order does not convert calendars. Preserve the original transcription, convention and authority before comparing records or drawing historical conclusions.
Qualify an explicitly transcribed manuscript rubric by locator.
When to use this tool
Use Arabic Manuscript Rubrication Marker when you already have manuscriptId, suppliedRubricText, sourceLocator and need to qualify an explicitly transcribed manuscript rubric by locator.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter manuscriptId, suppliedRubricText, sourceLocator. 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 manuscriptId, suppliedRubricText, sourceLocator 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

| manuscriptId | Manuscript Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

| sourceLocator | Source Locator | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"input": {

"output": {

}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without recognizing or interpreting script. 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 document or edition and its cataloguing conventions for identity and interpretation. Use an appropriate calendar or paleographic method when actual conversion or reading is required; supplied locators and uncertainty markers organize rather than establish that evidence.
