Semantic character coercion

Convert objects into semantic character representations.

Usage

as_character(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object.

...

Additional arguments.

Value

A semantic operationalisation of x.

Details

as_character() creates operational semantic workspaces suitable for:

• contextual refinement;

• semantic stabilization;

• provenance-aware harmonisation;

• contextual reconstruction workflows.

Unlike base as.character(), semantic operationalisation preserves observational provenance and semantic vocabulary.
