Remarks

The @type attribute may be used to classify the title according to some convenient typology. Sample values include: main (main title), subordinate (subtitle, title of part), abbreviated (abbreviated form of title), alternative (alternate title by which the work is also known), translated (translated form of title), uniform (collective title), and desc (descriptive title). The @type attribute is provided for convenience in analysing titles and processing them according to their type; where such specialized processing is not necessary, there is no need for such analysis, and the entire title, including subtitles and any parallel titles, may be enclosed within a single <title> element. Title parts may be encoded in titlePart [not available in this MEI customization] sub-elements. The name of the list from which a controlled value is taken may be recorded using the @auth attribute. The number of initial characters (such as those constituting an article or preposition) that should not be used for sorting a title or name may be indicated in the @nonfiling attribute.

The model of this element is based on the title element of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
