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