Thanks; this is great! Note, there's a typo above in the link.
Question, related to a previous list question:
Why the following?
<name type="conference">
<namePart>International Workshop on Plasma-Based Ion Implantation
(1993: University of Wisconsin--Madison)</namePart>
</name>
I see this a lot with these example records, and I assume they're a
holdover from MARC practices, but isn't the above title mixing in
non-title data (date and place) that should go elsewhere? And
shouldn't the MODS user guide reflect best practices, rather than
repeat these errors?
Three other examples:
<titleInfo>
<title>Oklahoma [sound recording] ; Carousel ; South Pacific</title>
</titleInfo>
<name type="conference">
<namePart>Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920)</namePart>
</name>
<titleInfo>
<title>Portals to the world</title>
<partName>Selected Internet resources</partName>
<partName>Andorra [electronic resource]</partName>
</titleInfo>
