Description
Given a vector of subject terms, determine which are (likely) author terms.
Usage
1
is_author(x)
Arguments
x
character vector of subject terms
Details
The heuristic is simply to look for a (possibly open-ended) birth-death date
range in the term. Note that this is highly imperfect, since books and
periodicals often also have date ranges. I have not found an alternative to
removing these by hand.
Value
logical vector indicating whether the corresponding element of
x is an author term.
