Enum Author 

pub enum Author {
    Person {
        surname: String,
        given: Vec<GivenName>,
    },
    Group(String),
}

Who produced a work.

Deliberately not #[non_exhaustive]. The person/group distinction is the one that decides whether a name may be reduced to initials, and a consumer meeting an unknown third kind behind a wildcard would have to guess which side of that line it fell on.

Variants

Person

An individual.

Fields

surname: String

Family name, as the work spells it.

given: Vec<GivenName>

Given names, in order, each either written out (Mary) or already an initial (M.). A renderer that wants initials derives them from the first character either way, so recording the full name loses nothing and recording only the initial costs nothing.

Group(String)

A group, organisation or company — a legitimate author in its own right, spelled out in full. It is not a person, so it is never reduced to initials, and the distinction is a variant rather than a flag so that no renderer can reach for the initials of World Health Organization.
