<contrib-group> Contributor Group
Container element for one or more contributors and information about those
contributors.
Usage/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.
Naming the Role of Contributors
The @content-type attribute on <contrib-group> was designed to name the role of the contributors in the group and was also designed
to accept any text as its value. However, if the @content-type value is to be taken from a controlled vocabulary, such as CRediT, Best Practice
is not to name the role using @content-type. Best Practice (when possible) is to tag the CRediT taxonomy of contributor roles
by using the <role> element inside the <contrib-group> or inside individual contributors (<contrib>). The major advantages of using the <role> element are the ability to tie the content of the role to the formal vocabulary using
the four BITS vocabulary attributes and the ability for a contributor or group to
play more than one role in the creation of an article.
