On that point, I completely agree.

But I would generalize the word 'author' to include any speaker
or writer of any natural language.  All applications of language
to new situations (and most situations are new in some respect)
"semantically enrich our reality."

And I regard the work on corpora as contributions to collecting,
organizing, and finding new ways to process the records of those
semantic enrichments.
