Hi Bruce

I can answer your question re <typeOfResource> sound recording-musical and
sound recording-nonmusical.

Here at the National Library of Australia, we are using MODS for the
following projects (with more to come):

* as an exchange format to facilitate harvesting and conversion of
data in multiple original formats/schemas to MARC and subsequent loading
into Australia's National Bibliographic database (NBD). This will allow us
to include records from non-MARC, non-traditional NBD contributors in this
union catalogue (1100 Australian libraries contribute - the database
includes approximately 33 million holdings). Our Harvester will allow
contributors to FTP their data, or make it available for OAI harvesting.
Most (we hope) will have already converted their local record formats to
MODS via XSLT stylesheets. If not, we will convert it for them. Once we
have the data, we will use the MODS to MARCXML stylesheet and then the
MARCXML to MARC conversion tool provided by LC, and then load the data using
the NBD's Batchlink service. We've already done an almost full 'pass' at
this process with a set of 20 000 records from the Australian Music Centre -
I say almost because there are some remaining diacritics encoding issues to
be resolved.
* as a storage format for the MusicAustralia service for which I am
responsible. We will be gathering data from various contributors -
libraries, archives, museums, the commercial sector - via the Harvester
project, and loading all records into the NBD. We'll then extract the
records we want from the NBD and convert them to MODS for the MusicAustralia
service itself. The extract relies on several criteria, one of which is
MARC Ldr/06 value = "j" - so you can see that discriminating between musical
and non-musical sound recordings is very important for MusicAustralia. The
National Library has also recently invested significant resources in
cleaning up the "i" and "j" values in the NBD - and we didn't want this work
compromised by inclusion of records which did not distinguish between these
resource types.
*
Well done to Rebecca and team - we are very excited to see the new draft
version, and believe the Schema will have many applications in Australia.

Best wishes

Marie-Louise
