Hi all,
I was curious if anyone could provide examples of how geographic
coordinates are being represented in MODS. I am specifically interested in
representing bounding coordinates for maps. I read in the user guide that
the information contained in this element is "equivalent to MARC 21 fields
034 and 255" but wanted to know specifically if decimal degree
(34.558889°, 16.253889°) or degree/minute/second (34° 33' 32.00", 16° 15'
14.00") the preferred geographic representation?
Thanks in advance,
John Banning
