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.
Mapping[edit]
| MODS Element | Dublin Core Metadata Element | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| titleInfo.title | Title | For multiple MODS titles use multiple instances of dc:title. MODS allows <titleInfo> subelements to be parsed: <nonSort>, <title>, <subTitle>, <partNumber>, <partName> MODS subelements should be concatenated in Dublin Core, separated by a space or other form of punctuation. |
| name.namePart | Creator | MODS allows <name> subelements to be parsed: <namePart>, <displayForm>, <affiliation>, <role>, <description> MODS subelements should be concatenated in Dublin Core, separated by a space or other form of punctuation. |

| relatedItem | Relation | If type="constituent", a full description may be given under relatedItem and conversion may result in an incomprehensible value. Alternatively, an application may wish to map only some elements under <relatedItem>, e.g., <titleInfo> and <identifier> or <location> if a full MODS description is given. For example, if giving a reference to a resource fully described in MODS relatedItem, one could use: <relatedItem><identifier> and/or title of a resource: <relatedItem><titleInfo><title> |
