Tag date of birth and death to authors

Is Zotero able to automatically import and tag birth-death date data to items by the same author? As there is no specialized field to do this, I currently do so by adding saved searches with the relevant data manually.

Certain library catalog searches include such information, but is not automatically imported into Zotero. For example:

http://las.sinica.edu.tw/search~S0*eng?/aranke/aranke/1%2C15%2C32%2CB/frameset&FF=aranke+leopold+von+1795+1886&3%2C%2C12/indexsort=-

http://tulips.ntu.edu.tw/search~S5*cht?/akroeber/akroeber/1%2C13%2C65%2CB/frameset&FF=akroeber+a+l+alfred+louis+++++1876+++++1960&30%2C%2C30/indexsort=-

Maybe some tinkering with the translators would help work out a solution?
  • Zotero doesn't have a field for authors' dates of life, so I don't really see a great way to handle this with translators.
