During our discussions it was suggested to add a field indicating whether the texts is pseudographically attributed to an author.
I guess it would be a property on the <contributor> element?
A possibility could be an attribute like @attribution with a selection of possible values, such as:
false
dubious
possible
certain
Certain could be the default, that would normally not need to be specified.
This would make it possible to model a range of possible authors like this:
<contributor attribution="possible">Richard Rufus</contributor>
<contributor attribution="possible">Petrus Hispanus Portugalensis</contributor>
<contributor attribution="dubious">Petrus Hispanus (later Pope Pius XI)</contributor>
Would this be the right level in the system to register this sort of information??
My personal question about this approach is that the source for the type of attribution would not be apparent. But I'm not sure that is a level of granularity that we want here, as that implies a system of registering modern literature that is not developed now.
