+ <p>
+ The author element should contain the name of the person or
+ organisation to be credited with the creation of the database, and
+ may include some form or address, either electronic or postal, as
+ well as the name.

+ <p>
+ Contrast with
+ <a href="/help.html?help=edit/contact">Contact</a>,
+ which is adminstrative rather than to do with giving credit. While
+ the author and contact entities may be the same, they may not.
