Chapter Author and Editors

Capture each author or editor contributor in a <contrib> element child of <contrib-group>

Note: If the chapter level contributors are the same as the book level contributors thier details must still be included in each chapter <book-part-meta>.

Each <contrib> must have a @contrib-type attribute. The only allowed values for this attribute are author or editor.

Each <contrib> representing an author or an editor must have a child <name> element. Capture the contributors surname and given name(s) in child <surname> and <given-name> elements respectively.

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.
