Hello all:

I am wondering if anyone can help me map transliterated and varying
volume numbers, dates, and page numbers into MODS. Is that possible?
Below is an excerpt from some sample data I am attempting to map -- my
first attempt! For my mapping to work, the sub-element <partNumber>
would need to be repeatable, sub-element <date> would need to be
repeatable in <part>. Furthermore, <start>/<end> for "pages" within
<part> would also need to be repeatable. I'm also wondering if
"displayLabel" is an attribute that can be used with any element? Or is
it just used within <titleInfo>?

Thanks for any advice and help you can give!

<relatedItem type="host" displayLabel="Journal Title">
<titleInfo>
<title> செந்தமிழ்ச் செல்வி</title>
<transliteration>: Centamil̲̲̱c celvi</transliteration>
<partNumber diplayLabel="Volume"> சரு</partNumber>
<partNumber displayLabel="Varying Volume">45</partNumber>
<partNumber displayLabel=" Issue/Part/Number">சு [sic]</partNumber>
          <partNumber displayLabel="Varying Issue/Part/Number">4<partNumber>
</titleInfo>
</relatedItem>
