Biographical data concerning a contributor or the description of a collaboration.
In print publications, the biographical text associated with a book or book part may not appear with the book metadata; for example, it may appear at the beginning of a chapter, in a sidebar, in a contributor’s list, or collected with other biographies in a separate book component at the end of the book. Biographies may be as short as a few words (tagged as a <p>) or as long as a section with internal subsections.
