A MODS to Dublin Core mapping is available from the our Web site:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/dcsimple-mods.html

There is also further information in the MODS guidelines:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/mods-userguide-lite.html

You might compare what you're done with those-- sorry I haven't had a
chance to look at yours yet.
