title: 'era: Year-Based Time Scales'
version: 0.5.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.era
abstract: Provides a consistent representation of year-based time scales as a numeric
  vector with an associated 'era'. There are built-in era definitions for many year
  numbering systems used in contemporary and historic calendars (e.g. Common Era,
  Islamic 'Hijri' years); year-based time scales used in archaeology, astronomy, geology,
  and other palaeosciences (e.g. Before Present, SI-prefixed 'annus'); and support
  for arbitrary user-defined eras. Years can converted from any one era to another
  using a generalised transformation function. Methods are also provided for robust
  casting and coercion between years and other numeric types, type-stable arithmetic
  with years, and pretty-printing in tables.
