Overview

Note:

An author must have at least one Affiliation with status: primary, else validation will fail.

Authors are collections of Affiliations.

Since people can have multiple names, titles, institutions, etc., these details are all handled by the Affiliation record. This record groups said records together, in order that a coherent oeuvre of a single author be identified, which is more user-friendly.
