Biography

Remarks

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.
Usage: The XLink linking attribute @xlink:href may be used to point to a picture of the contributor, to a more complete vita, to his/her website, etc.
