Dear Kayla,
our programmers are developing metadata editor for MODS and FOXML
records stored in Fedora Commons repository. You can find more
information here: http://code.google.com/p/meta-editor/. Our library
is using this editor for changing records in our digital library
(kramerius.mzk.cz).Editor is under GNU GPL 2, so you can use only the
part for MODS, it`s somehow separated in the code (Sorry, I`m not
programmer :)
Best regards,
Pavla Svastova

> them using our XML editor, and then place them back on the server,
> overwriting the previous version. We’re investigating ways to batch edit
> our records more efficiently, and potentially include our catalog data as
> well.
