<title> encodes the formal name of a work listed in the finding aid. Subtitles do not have a separate element but may be included within <title>. It should not be confused with <titleproper> or <unittitle>, which have specific uses. However, <title> may be used within <unittitle>. It may also be used within <abstract>, <archref>, <bibref>, <controlaccess>, <entry>, <event>, <indexentry>, <item>, <namegrp>, <p>, <physfacet>, <ref>, and <unittitle>.

Changes from EAD 2002
<title> gained @lang and @script. @type changed to @localtype. The attribute @authfilenumber was replaced by @identifier and @role was replaced and expanded by @relator. It lost all child elements except <part>, which now much be used to encode all information.
