<author>


<author> In a bibliographic reference, contains the name of the author(s), personal or corporate, of a work; the primary statement of responsibility for any bibliographic item.
Attributes
In addition to global attributes and those inherited from names:
attested Indicates the status of the contents of the element on which it appears with regard to the evidence from which it is derived.
Datatype: (yes | added | no | unk)
Legal values are:
yes the attribution in the element is made on the basis of evidence inside the letter
added the attribution in the element is made on the basis of additional material accompanying the letter (eg. the envelope)
no the attribution in the element is made on the basis of external evidence
unk it is unknown on what basis the attribution in the element is made
Default: #IMPLIED
accepted Indicates whether the attribution made in the element is generally accepted. This is an optional attribute with one of following three values. Generally accepted attributions are encoded with value "yes"; attributions that are not generally accepted with "no"; when no claim can be made regarding this status, the value "unk" is used.
Datatype: (yes | no | unk)
Legal values are:
yes the attribution in the element is generally accepted
no the attribution in the element is not generally accepted
unk it is unknown whether the attribution in the element is generally accepted
Default: #IMPLIED
Example
<author attested="yes">Stijn Streuvels</author>
Note

The <author> element is originally a standard TEI element (see http://www.tei-c.org/P4X/ref-AUTHOR.html), which has been enriched with the attributes from the names class, and the attested and accepted attributes. By this the encoder can provide enough additional information to identify the author of a letter (part) in <letHeading>.
