<contrib>

Contributor

Container element for information about a single author, editor, or other contributor.

Remarks

Types of Contributors. The element <contrib> can be used for many roles besides authors, for example, editors, special issue editors, photographers, illustrators, directors, etc. The @contrib-type attribute placed on the <contrib> element, or the <role> element used within the <contrib> element, may be used to describe the contribution.

Affiliation. The linkage from a contributor to an affiliation should be made using the ID/IDREF mechanism. The @id attribute of an <aff> element will be pointed to by one or more <contrib> elements.

Anonymous: The name of a contributor that is being withheld or is not known may be recorded using the EMPTY element <anonymous>, which is expected to cause text such an “Anonymous” or “anon.” to be generated for display or print.
