The Basic Structure of the Title Statement (//fileDesc/titleStmt)

The Title Statement (<titleStmt>) of the File Description is used for specifying title (s) (in the <title> element) and author (s) (in the <author> element) of the respective work, as well as the publisher of the DTA full text edition (in the <editor> element). In addition, possible further responsibilities for individual instances of the text in the digitization process are clarified (in the element <respStmt>). 

<titleStmt>
      <title type="main">[main title]</title>
      <title type="sub">[subtitle]</title> <!-- to be used several times if applicable -->
      <title type="volume" n="[DTA volume number]">[volume designation]</title> <!-- if applicable -->
      <title type="part" n="[number of the part of a multi-part dependent publication]">
      [title of the part of a multi-part dependent publication]
      </title> <!-- if applicable -->
      <author>[author]</author> <!-- to be used several times if applicable -->
  <editor corresp="#[XML-ID of the Publication Statement]">
  [publisher of the present text edition]
  </editor> <!-- to be used several times if applicable -->
  <respStmt>[responsibility in the case of external contributors]</respStmt>
</titleStmt>
CAUTION:
The <titleStmt> of the File Description contains the author (s) of the work as well as the publishers of this DTA text edition. Possible publishers/translators of the underlying source are only listed in the Source Description, even if the work cannot be assigned to an author. See chap. Information on the Underlying Source.
