OBO names in bibliographic items

Capture all names in surname, forename order regardless of how they appear in the citation itself except where the copy editor has underlined the main name or the name is non-invertable.

When non-western names appear in bibliographic items, copy editors indicate how to capture the name in the author, partAuthor or mainName attributes of bibItem and nameGrp by underlining the main name part of a personal name.

Use the underline formatting to help you identify the value of the mainName attribute, but do not capture the formatting to XML.

If a portion of a name is underlined, capture it in the mainName attribute of nameGrp and use that portion as the surname in the surname, forename ordering of the name in the author and partAuthor attributes of the bibItem. The exception to this is cases where the nameGrp has nameType="nonInvertible" .

If the entire name is underlined, capture the entire name in the mainName attribute of nameGrp and do not invert the name in the author and partAuthor attributes of the bibItem.
