Description
The institutional affiliation of an author, contributor, or other individual.
Processing expectations
May be formatted inline or as a displayed block, depending on context. Sometimes suppressed.
Future Changes
In DocBook V4.0, Affiliation will be removed from some of the places in which it now occurs. Instead of appearing inside Author, for example, a new wrapper element will be created to hold Author, AuthorBlurb, and Affiliation.
Parents
These elements contain Affiliation: Address, ArtHeader, Author, BiblioEntry, BiblioMixed, BiblioMSet, BiblioSet, BookBiblio, BookInfo, Collab, DocInfo, Editor, ObjectInfo, OtherCredit, RefSect1Info, RefSect2Info, RefSect3Info, RefSynopsisDivInfo, Sect1Info, Sect2Info, Sect3Info, Sect4Info, Sect5Info, SectionInfo, SeriesInfo, SetInfo.
