Biography

Biographical data concerning a contributor or the description of a collaboration.

Remarks

In print publications, the biographical text associated with an article may not appear with the article metadata, which is typically displayed at the top or beginning of the article. For example, the biography may appear at the end of the article, in a sidebar, or collected with other biographies in a separate section of the publication. 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.
