<role>

Role or Function Title of Contributor

Title or role of a contributor to a work (for example, editor-in-chief, chief scientist, photographer, research associate).

Remarks

Information on the role or type of contribution is collected in two places, in the @contrib-type attribute on the <contrib> element and in the <role> element (which is part of the contributor information inside a <contrib> element). For example, the <contrib> element’s @contrib-type attribute might have a value of “ editor ”, whereas the content of the <role> element could be “Associate Editor”. As another example, the <contrib> element’s @contrib-type attribute might be “ author ”, and the <role> element might contain “Principle Author”.

The <role> element is more likely to appear on screen or in print than the <contrib> element’s @contrib-type attribute value.
