Container element for information concerning a grouping of contributors, such as primary authors, editors, sponsors, translators, illustrators, etc. The members of the group are contributors who worked individually, not as a group.
The @content-type attribute should be used to name the type of contributor, “authors”, “editors”, “translators”, etc.
The <contrib-group>, should not be confused with the element <collab>, which is used for groups of authors, editors, etc. who are credited under a single name, either as a collaboration in the strictest sense, or when an organization, institution, or corporation is given as a contributor.
If issue contributors (as opposed to contributors to a particular article), are part of the metadata for an article, they should be listed in a separate <contrib-group> with a @content-type attribute such as “issue-editors”.
