General Attributes (shared with other elements)

Common Optional ID Attributes (a-group-CommonIDAttrs)

Local Attributes (defined for this element alone)

Attribute: primaryauthor

Description

This attribute indicates whether the author is the primary author or not. Most authors will not be the primary author, so the default value is "no", but this attribute must be used and set to "yes" for the primary author only. The primary author should always be shown first, and is usually the most obvious candidate for corresponding with.

Specification

This attribute is required but has a default value of "no". The allowed values are "yes" and "no".

DTD Definition

                primaryauthor            (yes | no)  "no"

Attribute: corresponding

Description

This attribute specifies whether or not the author will allow correspondence (the default assumption is not) in respect to production of the article.

Specification

This attribute is required but has a default value of "no". The allowed values are "yes" and "no".

DTD Definition

                corresponding            (yes | no)  "no"

Attribute: seq (Sequence)

Description

This attribute holds a number that represents the order in which the author should appear in respect to other authors. Usually, the primary author has a sequence value of "1". The values from each of the elements should form a sequence with no gaps or repetitions, starting at "1". Ideally, the elements will form the same sequence, as follows:

<author ... seq="1">...</author>
<author ... seq="2">...</author>
<author ... seq="3">...</author>

If this attribute is not used in one element instance, it should not be used in any of them, in which case the appropriate sequence must be derived from the order of the elements.

Specification

This attribute is not required. It has text content.
