Dartmouth College Library MODS Documentation

Last updated: July 20, 2018

This page provides guidelines for the creation of digital project descriptive metadata in the MODS format.

All external links open in a new window.

Base Guidelines

In general, the Library adheres to Resource Description & Access (RDA), as well as version 1.1 of the DLF/Aquifer Implementation Guidelines for Shareable MODS Records at the strictest level of adoption. Deviations from the DLF/Aquifer guidelines occur in some places due to RDA requirements, preferred local practice, or improvements since made to the MODS schema in versions 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6. In particular, note the following changes implemented in versions 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6:

Refer to the Library of Congress's MODS User Guidelines "Elements and Attributes" section for descriptions and examples of the current version of the MODS schema. Links are provided below to the page for each top-level element.

Local Practices

These practices override or expand portions of the DLF/Aquifer guidelines.

Throughout the Schema

General Editing

Add new top-level elements as necessary to include multiple titles, names, subjects, imprint statements, etc.

Only include punctuation that occurs as part of the content of an element. Do not include ISBD punctuation used to separate MARC subfields.

Remove all XML comments (e.g., <!-- Enter non-filing characters here -->) completely when entering data.

Remove any elements that are blank (i.e., do not have any text content or subelements), except for those within <mods:extension>.

Do not insert line breaks within the text content of any element. (Line breaks within text in the examples below are present only for ease of reading.)

Under <mods:recordInfo>, update <mods:recordChangeDate encoding="w3cdtf">, or add it if it does not exist, whenever editing a record.

Dates

All descriptive date elements (except those within <mods:name> and FAST terms associated with the date of work) should contain @encoding="w3cdtf". Refer to W3C Date and Time Formats for constructing valid W3CDTF dates.

Use MODS' date-related attributes to indicate date ranges and qualifiers when converting MARC-encoded or other dates to W3CDTF.

URIs for Controlled Vocabularies

Updated! Provide @authority and @valueURI for all access points within <mods:name>, <mods:subject>, <mods:genre>, and <mods:titleInfo> elements where they are available. Do not provide @valueURI for only a portion of a complex access point.

Special Characters and Alternate Scripts and Languages

Common RDA Instructions: 1.4

Common MARC Mappings: 880, XXX $6

New! To implement the double underscore convention in observance of LC-PCC PS for RDA 1.4 (e.g. sections "Super/Subscript Characters", "Special Letters, Diacritical Marks, and Punctuation Marks"), use the U+0333 COMBINING DOUBLE LOW LINE character, entered immediately following the character to be modified.

Modification to LC-PCC PS for RDA 1.4, section "Greek and Other Non-Latin Script Letters, Ideographs, Etc.": Retain any characters from non-Latin scripts. Use @script on each element to identify the non-Latin script with a four-letter value taken from the ISO 15924 Code List. Create a parallel element containing the romanized form. Link the top-level elements containing these forms by adding @altRepGroup to each. For each pair of linked elements within a record, the value of @altRepGroup should be the same two-digit number, starting with "01". See <mods:titleInfo> and <mods:abstract> for examples.

Elements containing a majority of content in a non-English language should use @lang to identify that language with a three-letter value taken from the ISO 639-2 Code List. See <mods:titleInfo> for an example.

Top-level Elements

Refer to the MARC 21 to MODS 3.5 Mapping document for detailed mappings between MARC fields and subfields and MODS elements, subelements, and attributes.

See also the official RDA-to-MODS mapping (last updated for MODS version 3.3) for information about less-commonly-used elements.

Notes

Use @type with <mods:titleInfo> only for abbreviated, translated, alternative, or uniform titles.

See <mods:note> below for encoding the statement of responsibility.

Use both @type="alternative" and @displayLabel="Uncontrolled title" for an uncontrolled related title.

Notes

Assign the RDA media and carrier types to <mods:form type="media" authority="rdamedia"> and <mods:form type="carrier" authority="rdacarrier"> elements, respectively.

Updated! Place extent data within <mods:extent>. For each other type of data that could be mapped to subfields of the MARC 300 field (e.g. "other physical details", "dimensions", "accompanying material"), create a separate <mods:note> element with appropriate @type.

For collection-level records, supplement <mods:extent> with a parenthetical count if the collection is not a continuing resource.

<mods:internetMediaType> and <mods:digitalOrigin> are required.

Updated! When the source data contains information applicable only to the physical version, move it to an appropriate element within <mods:relatedItem>/<mods:physicalDescription>.

Common RDA Instructions: 7.10 Summarization of the Content

Common MARC Mappings: 520

Notes

For collection-level records, use @displayLabel to associate <mods:abstract> content with sections of the collection home page template, or to indicate preferred labels for catalog display.

If home-page metadata elements require XHTML encoding to preserve formatting for display purposes, create both a <mods:abstract> element and a <mods:extension>/<drb:section> element, and link them using @altRepGroup with letter values, as described under <mods:extension> below. Use <mods:abstract> for the plain-text version of this content.

Examples
<mods:abstract displayLabel="Summary">Finding Augusta breaks new ground, revising how media studies interpret the relationship between our bodies and technology. This is a challenging exploration of how, for both good and ill, the sudden ubiquity of mobile devices, GPS systems, haptic technologies, and other forms of media alter individuals' experience of their bodies and shape the social collective. The author succeeds in problematizing the most salient fact of contemporary mobile media technologies, namely, that they have become, like highways and plumbing, an infrastructure that regulates habit.</mods:abstract>

<mods:abstract displayLabel="About the Collection">Dating from between 1919 and 1925 the papers of Charles Daniel Tenney include essays, speeches and translations concerning Tenney's time in China as well as his views on education, the tensions between Christian missions and Confucianism, criticism of the Chinese language and writing system, criticism of the 1911 revolution and the founding of the Chinese Republic, as well as Tenney's thoughts on the Jewish colony and tablets at Keifeng. Additionally, included is Tenney's typescript copy of Bishop George Smith's translation of the Keifeng Jewish Tablets. The Papers of Charles Daniel Tenney form part of the manuscript holdings of Rauner Special Collections library at Dartmouth College. The original documents are available for research and may be requested by asking for call number: MS-794 in Rauner Library. The papers were digitally reformatted and transcribed over the summer of 2012 as part of the Dartmouth Digital Library Program. A finding aid and more information for the collection may be found at: https://ead.dartmouth.edu/html/ms794_fullguide.html</mods:abstract>

<mods:abstract displayLabel="Abstract" altRepGroup="02" script="Grek">Despite immunogenicity, melanoma-specific vaccines have demonstrated minimal clinical efficacy in patients with established disease, but enhance survival when administered in the adjuvant setting. It has been shown that T cell infiltration of melanoma is associated with enhanced clinical efficacy and is a desirable endpoint of immunotherapeutic vaccination. T cell infiltration into tumors is regulated, in part, by chemokine receptors. Therefore, we have investigated the chemokine receptor CXCR3 in three different settings. 1) The induction of CXCR3 on CD8 T cells by peptide vaccination in human patients, 2) the requirement for CXCR3 expression on CD8 T cells for the infiltration of metastatic melanoma lesions in the lungs of mice, and 3) the requirement for host CXCR3 expression for engraftment of metastatic melanoma in the lung. Our results are three-fold. 1) We determined that vaccination of a melanoma peptide vaccine in adjuvant induces tumor antigen-specific CD8 T cells that are predominantly positive for CXCR3. These cells express high levels of Tbet, IFN-γ, and IL-12R-β1, and thus maintain a phenotype that supports the infiltration and eradication of melanoma. 2) We demonstrated that CXCR3 is required for efficient infiltration of tumor-bearing lungs. Additionally, we observed temporal regulation of CXCR3-cognate chemokines with the establishment of melanoma metastases in the lung. This correlated with temporal regulation of T cell infiltration. We demonstrated that blocking adenosine signaling in the tumor microenvironment restored chemokine production and T cell infiltration in advanced metastatic lesions. 3) Host expression of CXCR3 is required for the engraftment of pulmonary melanoma metastases. We observed that CXCR3-/- mice were protected from melanoma engraftment in the lung, as early as 24 hours after tumor cell injection. We determined that a CXCR3+ host cell was mediating this differential engraftment, and determined that eliminating macrophages in C57BL/6 mice could reduce melanoma engraftment of the lung to levels seen in CXCR3-/- mice. We show that CXCR3 and its ligands play a crucial role in both immunemediated regulation, and metastatic dissemination, of melanoma. Therefore, regulation of CXCR3 expression on lymphocytes and CXCR3 ligands in the tumor microenvironment will be critical for optimizing immune-mediated therapy of melanomas (and likely other tumors).</mods:abstract>

Notes

All item-level records must have a <mods:relatedItem type="host"> element that contains <mods:titleInfo> and <mods:typeOfResource collection="yes"> subelements. Refer to project-specific documentation for additional requirements.

For digitized resources, use <mods:relatedItem type="otherFormat"> for information about the physical version. For digitized cartographic resources, instead use <mods:relatedItem type="original">.

Updated! Use <mods:originInfo eventType="production">/<mods:dateCreated> to record the date of work for a digitized unpublished resource, as directed by local policy on RDA 6.4. If the physical version was published, instead use <mods:originInfo eventType="publication">/<mods:dateIssued>.

New! For a series statement, use <mods:relatedItem type="series">/<mods:titleInfo> without @authority. For a series access point, use <mods:relatedItem type="series">/<mods:titleInfo> with @authority, and include @valueURI if available.
