General Information

MODS

MODS Outline

Record Analysis

Summary of Files

Number of files: 3452 files; [X] parent objects and [Y] child objects

Types of objects

Simple objects

Single image file with 1 METS and 1 MODS record

Complex objects

Consist of multiple image files

Most common types- post cards (2 pages/2 images), books (multiple pages/multiple images), brochures (complex page structure/multiple images, digital representation attempts to mimic experience of folding and unfolding brochure to see different parts)

Parent/child hierarchy

Parent displays entire digital object, multiple images, 1 METS record and 1 MODS record (represents entire object)

Parent points down to child items ("Page Image") and lists child items in order based on structure of object
e.g. Child items for book listed in page number order
Not sure how parent/child relationship structured on back end

Child item consists of single image and 1 METS and 1 MODS record

Child points up to parent (not sure how this is done on back end)

Questions

titleInfo: Do the records use the nonSort field, or are initial articles included in the title field?

name: How are names handled?; Are they stored in indirect order in the namePart field, or are name parts separated using the type attribute?

typeOfResource: Does this field follow the MODS convention, or are there other values?

genre: What controlled vocabulary, if any, is used for this field?

originInfo: What date fields are used? (dateIssued? dateCreated?); Are approximate and questionable values represented with the appropriate attributes, or are there any extra characters in the date field, like "ca." or "?"? (Dates need to be stored in YYYY-MM-DD format in order for Solr to be able to index the records.)

language: If the language field is used, what standard is used to control the language values?; Are they stored as values or codes?

physicalDescription: Is this field used? If so, what subfields are used?

abstract: How is the abstract field used?

tableOfContents: Is this field used?

targetAudience: Is this field used?

note: If this field is used, what note types are there?; Could this information be represented elsewhere?

subject: What controlled vocabulary, if any, is used for this field? What subelements, if any, are used?

classification: Is this field used?

relatedItem: Is this field used?

identifier: Is this field used?

location: Is this field used?

accessCondition: Is this field used?

part: Is this field used?

extension: Is this field used?

recordInfo: Is this field used?
