      Take for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jordan:

      James Oliver Rigney, Jr, (October 17, 1948 - September 16, 2007) better known under the pen name Robert Jordan,[1] was an American author of epic fantasy. He is best known for The Wheel of Time, which consists of 14 books and a prequel novel. Rigney also wrote historical fiction under his pseudonym Reagan O'Neal, a western as Jackson O'Reilly, and dance criticism as Chang Lung.

      That's 5 names for 1 person.
      If they're all added as an alias to one person, how could the different names be used when related to their works?
      If multiple creators are going to be defined, how would they be related to each other? What would their begin and end dates be?
