Dear all,
Here it comes a short question about Subject Level :-)
I would like to use the levels and sublevels "subject/topic" and
"subject/hierarchicalGeographic/country". The content comes from AGROVOC -
thesaurus for the Agriculture and related domains, multilingual and where
every concept has an URI. Therefore we would like to store for each indexed
concept the URI + labels in six languagues + name of the authoritative list.
If you look at the example below either the URI or the authority attributes
are fine and are defined under the level Subject instead of topic or country.
But the attribute Language seems that must be defined also under subject and
not topic, what complicates a bit the structure of the record.
Please can anyone confirm me that this below is the most proper way to do it
in MODS? No chance to define this structure in a simplified way?
