<person-group>

Person Group for a Cited Publication

Container element for one or more contributors in a bibliographic reference.

Remarks

The container can be used to group all the contributors of a particular type (for example, authors, editors, directors, translators) that are named in a reference.
Related Essay: For a discussion on the use of <person-group>, see Personal Names in Citations.
Usage: This element may be used in bibliographic references (<element-citation> and <mixed-citation>).
This element may also include any punctuation and spacing that is between the names, even when this element is used within an <element-citation>. Therefore, within the context of an element-only <element-citation>, care should be taken not to accidentally allow punctuation and spaces, since an XML parser will not view this as an error.
