Sometimes the names under which the entries appear carry some extra information. For instance (example from DCL):
Cuthbert, Margaret,* New York. Adventure in radio, edited by M. Cuthbert, with radio scripts by Edna St. Vincent Millay, Arch Obeler, Archibald MacLeish [and others] © Sept. 17, 1945; A 189950.
The asterisk means the Margaret Cuthbert is the claimant. There is also the info that she is from New York. Is this used for disambiguation?
Another example:
Curtis, Charles P., jr.,* Ipswich, Mass. & Greenslet, Ferris,* Boston. The practical cogitator, selected and edited by C. P. Curtis, jr. and Ferris Greenslet. © Oct. 9, 1945; A 190420.
If we do not include the author headings in the XML, then we still need to mark the authors as claimants in the entry, i.e.
<author claimaint="true"><role>edited by</role> <authorName>M. Cuthbert</authorName></author>
However, the principles stated in #9 argue for recording the heading, and we would then need to group the entries under the heading. Something like:
<entryGroup> <heading> <author><authorName claimant="true">Cuthbert, Margaret</authorName>,* <authorPlace>New York</authorPlace>.</author> </heading> <copyrightEntry>...</copyrightEntry> <copyrightEntry>...</copyrightEntry> </entryGroup>
If we do this, I think it's still a good idea to mark the claimants within the <copyrightEntries> themselves. Since the forms of the names don't match (at least in these examples) I don't know how hard that will be.
<copyrightEntries>
