ETDMS in MODS

<mods:extension>

MODS extension field

<mods:extension> is used in ETD MODS records as a wrapper to accommodate four specific fields, pulled from ETDMS, (in this order): degree name, degree level, degree discipline, and degree grantor:

• etdms:name: "Name of the degree associated with the work as it appears within the work." (example: Master of Science)
• etdms:level: "Level of education associated with the document." This field is populated with a numerical value representing the degree level:

0: Undergraduate (pre-masters)

1: Masters (pre-doctoral)

2: Doctoral (includes post-doctoral)

• etdms:discipline: "Area of study of the intellectual content of the document." Although the NDLTD website states that the discipline "will be the name of a program or department", we will use terms selected from a list of controlled values. This field may be repeated)
• etdms:grantor: "Institution granting the degree associated with the work. Like other names and institutions, this field should be entered in free text form as it appears on the title page or equivalent."
