Description
Serialize source, eventId, dayIndex, and minute as eventKey; append version for revisionKey.
Exact label matching answers whether supplied strings agree under a chosen vocabulary. It preserves a useful distinction between missing, unknown, ambiguous, and unrecognized records.
Serialize source, eventId, dayIndex, and minute as eventKey; append version for revisionKey.
When to use this tool
Use Birth Record Duplicate Event Key when you need an explicit record-label comparison or deterministic key.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter source, eventId, dayIndex, minute, version. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read eventKey, revisionKey. Use the output convention below.
Require a clock minute in 0-1439 and a nonnegative revision. Serialize source, eventId, dayIndex, and minute as eventKey; append version for revisionKey.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Keys preserve exact supplied coordinates without timezone conversion, duplicate resolution, or source authentication.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Normalize or reconcile identifiers only under a documented policy, then verify the underlying source records separately.
