Mapping MODS to OAI DC

The following specifies the mapping of MODS metadata, which are part of the escidoc metadata record for ViRR items to Dublin Core metadata. This transformation will be exploited for the OAI-PMH interface of the ViRR solution. This mapping basically reflects the mapping recommended by the Library of Congress.

Format Name
Source: MODS Target: oai_dc

Mapping
''For start we will go with the provided transformation from LoC. All coloured metadata will not be in this mapping, but this will be fine for start. we can enhance the transformations at a later stage.''

Other LoC Formats
We can also provide ViRR metadata in MARC21 format, as there is a transformation already provided (mods2marc21).

Comment

 * If we provide export of ViRR metadata on the user interface in oai_dc and/ or marc21 it must be clear that the export in this format only contains bibliographic metadata. For exporting structural metadata one has to use mets export.
