The Substructuring of the Elements //author und //editor

The information on the author (s) of a text is given in the <author> element of the Title Statements, which can be found both in the File Description and in the <biblFull> element of the Source Description. In the case of several authors, the <author> element is used more than once. The same applies to the <editor> element for specifying the publisher of a text.

The name of the author/publisher/translator can be found in the <persName> subelement of the <author> or <editor> element (for further structuring of the <persName> element, see chap. Substructuring of the <persName> Element).
