Source label to polity aliases

Source: R/table_mappings.R
polity_label_aliases.Rd

Published map from the country/area labels a source writes to periodized WHEP polity_code values, consumed by resolve_polity_label(). It is the label-keyed counterpart of polity_area_crosswalk, which is keyed by numeric reporting area code.

Usage

polity_label_aliases

Format

A tibble with one row per alias. Columns:

  • source_label: The label exactly as the source writes it.

  • source: Source slug the alias is scoped to, or NA when it applies to any source.

  • year_start, year_end: Year range the alias is scoped to. A missing bound is unbounded on that side; both missing means the alias is not year-scoped.

  • polity_code: The WHEP polity the label resolves to.

  • common_name: Human-readable name of that polity.

  • confidence: Curator's confidence in the alias.

  • observed_rows: Source rows actually observed for the label, NA when the label is merely mappable.

Details

The map is authored and gated in whep-polities; this package embeds a copy rather than deciding label identity itself, so that a label's meaning has one authority.
