<contrib-group>

Contributor Group

Container element for one or more contributors and information about those contributors.

Remarks

Inside the element <book-meta>, the <contrib-group> element groups one or more contributors to a work such as authors, researchers, or photographers. Inside the element <book-part-meta>, the <contrib-group> element groups contributors to the individual book part, such as chapter editors, chapter authors, or special section editors.

Contributor groups may name primary authors, editors, sponsors, translators, illustrators, or any other role. The members of the group are contributors who worked individually, not as a group. The @content-type attribute should be used to name the type of contributor, “authors”, “editors”, “translators”, “directors”, etc.

Related Elements

The element <contrib-group> is a metadata element. The <person-group> element performs a similar function of grouping individual contributors, such as authors and editors, within a bibliographic reference (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>).

The <contrib-group> should not be confused with the element <collab>, in which individuals are not named as contributors because the contribution was made by the group as a whole, for example, a report which has a laboratory or department as the official author.
