Find international organisations in text

Source: R/code_orgs.R
code_orgs.Rd

This function allows for the identification of international organizations in a vector of texts.

Usage

code_orgs(text, code = TRUE, max_count = 1)

Arguments

text

A vector of text to search for organization names within.

code

Logical whether the function should return the four- to five-letter abbreviation or the name of the organization. For the complete list of entities and their search terms, run the function without an argument (i.e. code_orgs()). Updates and suggestions welcome.

max_count

Integer how many organizations to search for in each element of the vector. Where more than one organization is matched, the organizations are returned as a set, i.e. in the format "{UNORG,EURO}". By default max_count = 1, which will just return the first match.

Examples

code_orgs(c("We visited the United Nations",
  "This was a European Union Resolution",
  "Maybe it was Mercosur",
  "New Zealand is a member of the Pacific Island Forum"))
#> [1] "UNORG" "EURO"  "MCSUR" "PASIF"
