Author & Byline

An Author refers to the person responsible for creating a piece of content like an article, a blog post or any other form of written material. Normally matches the Author that created the content on the CMS.

A Byline is the public text that acknowledges and identifies the author(s) responsible for creating an article. Normally matches the public byline as informed on the structure data.

An Author may have multiple bylines for different reasons:

  1. Pseudonyms or pen names: Some authors may write under a pseudonym or pen name, either for personal reasons or to maintain separation between different areas of their work. In such cases, they could have multiple bylines associated with their different pen names.
  2. Variations in name representation: An author’s name may be represented differently across various publications or platforms

As an example, the Author John Smith might publish articles using these different bylines:

  1. John Smith
  2. JS
  3. J.S.
  4. John S.
  5. J. Smith
  6. Generic Editorial byline

Marfeel exposes both the real Author of an article along with the used Byline as dimensions on Explore, Optimize and Compass views.

By default, if mrf:authors is not explicitly informed, the field is automatically populated with the Byline value.
