3 weeks ago As discussed at June 25, 2024 meeting: The idea is to have places to indicate authors, editors, illustrators, and translators and then could work for transcribers. It's thought that this is already an option and we don't need to include. The Talking Book specification has dtd:narrator, and so we could have brl:contributor and then have roles for the tactile graphic artist and transcriber. For now we could work on examples and then we could put how to use these in the Metadata Best Practices and have brl:contributor in the main specification.

As it happens with the Daisy tag of the same name, it would be useful to include an attribute that specifies its role in the document, i.e., translator, illustrator, editor, compilator, etc.
Matt explains how this can be done:
The package document supports adding roles, but not through an attribute. It uses a “refines” attribute that references the creator element. Here’s an example from the epub 3 specification using marc relators:
You can do similarly for contributors. For example, for someone who helped create the ebraille file you might specify:
dc:Contributor is not in our list at this point, but we might consider including it as well if there's interest. I find it useful.
