Description

Build an unambiguous explicit monastery library shelfmark key.

Religious-source records depend on the work, edition, translation, calendar tradition and locator system. Verse numbers and hymn-meter counts are supplied annotations; a shared label need not imply identical text or observance. Evening starts, transfer rules and public admission windows require their stated source rather than an assumed universal calendar or authority.

Build an unambiguous explicit monastery library shelfmark key.

When to use this tool

Use Monastery Library Shelfmark Locator when you already have libraryId, collectionCode, shelfmarkText and need to build an unambiguous explicit monastery library shelfmark key.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter libraryId, collectionCode, shelfmarkText. 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 libraryId, collectionCode, shelfmarkText 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": {
    "libraryId": "LIB17",
    "collectionCode": "COL2",
    "shelfmarkText": "MS 042"
  },
  "output": {
    "token": "[\"LIB17\",\"COL2\",\"MS 042\"]"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without accessing a collection. 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 specific work, edition, calendar authority or rights record for a verified citation or observance. Use the source text and its prosodic convention for actual syllable analysis; supplied counts and locators can organize that review.
