Dear MODS experts,
We’ve got a lot of original materials of artists which used to put some short handwritten notes on their works.
I think it would be nice to encode this as "note".
But what type would be sufficient here?
I think it should be "source note". This type is on the "official" list at <http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/mods-notes.html> .
So an example would be
<note type="source note">
I am not sure about this...
</note>
I am unsure if "source note" is right, because the meaning of "source note" could also be interpreted different than "handwritten" (like a note about the source we've got it from).
Of course I could define it by myself and put it like <note type="handwritten"> - but I want to be as close as possible to the official MODS declaration.
But maybe there is a better approach than "note" for this kind of thing?
So what would you suggest to encode handwritten remarks within MODS?
Thanks a lot,
Wolfram Zieger
