Re: [jats-list] JATS 1.2 Publishing vs CrossRef: single name tagging

["Alf Eaton eaton.alf@xxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In case it's useful, my original question referred to below was for this
article:
https://peerj.com/articles/196.xml

We ended up using this markup:

<name name-style="given-only">
<given-names>b&</given-names>
</name>

Which ended up in various places downstream:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24281688
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmid/24281688/
https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pmc&id=3817583&r
etmode=xml

I see that the same author has another paper where the publisher chose to
use name + surname, so it seems that either approach "works" - it's up to
you which you find most semantically correct for the author's name (and
suggests that it would be useful for JATS to have a tag or attribute which
says that a name really is a mononym).

surnames are not distinguished, you may place the entire name in surname
