Example Data

Following bibliographic metadata is currently available (only for the exemplary books):

• MAB Format

General Information

• As a rule we can state that every element is mapped with the full path. That means that for every MAB entry a full MODS element will be created. E.g.: every creator will have his own name tag.
• The bibliographic metadata will be transferred to MODS to follow the recommendation from the zvdd.
