<name>

Name of Person

Container element for the component elements of personal names, such as a <surname>.

Remarks

Related Essay: For a discussion on the use of <name>, see Personal Names in Citations.

Best Practice: If the name parts are unknown or untagged, the whole name can be placed

Use of a <string-name> or <surname> element is more likely to lead to better search results than merely leaving the person’s name untagged. (See <string-name> for additional detail.)
