An alternative, of course, is to reference the official ISO/IEC standards. 
(They don't have authors, either.)

For Ada 95, that would be ISO/IEC 8652:1995(E), Information technology - 
Programming languages - Ada.

To get to Ada 2005, you need the Corrigendum and Amendment as well:

ISO/IEC 8652:1995/Cor.1:2001(E), Information technology - Programming 
languages - Ada - Technical Corrigendum 1.

ISO/IEC 8652:1995/AMD 1:2007(E), Information technology - Programming 
languages - Ada - Amendment 1.

I don't have the exact title of the 1987 standard handy (that is Ada 83; it 
wasn't made an ISO standard until much later as is evident from the date). 
It would be something like ISO/IEC 8652:1987(E), Information technology - 
Programming languages - Ada, but as there were some nomenclature changes 
over the years, it might be slightly different.
