The name element must contain a @name-style attribute. If the contributor has their name presented in the order given-name, surname then use western as the value. If the contributor has their name presented in the order surname, given name then use eastern as the value.

If a contributor has any associated affiliation, footnote or biography information those must be explictly linked using an <xref> element. See Contributor Cross References.
