A note is defined in MODS as just a string/unstructured text. Here is no authorityURI or valueURI as attributes in the schema. If you want to bring out the owner of a resource, use <name> with a role, e.g.

<name valueURI="http://d-nb.info/gnd/118677446" authorityURI="http://d-nb.info/gnd/">
   <namePart>Crusius, Martin</namePart>
   <role><roleTerm type="code" authority="marcrelator">own</roleTerm></role>
</name>

(assuming it is ownership you are trying to convey; there are other roles relevant to provenance in the MARC relator list).
We could also use authorityURI and valueURI (http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/own) under role in this example with the appropriate values from id.loc.gov/. Or could use type="text".

Subject: [MODS] mods:note[type="ownership"] with authority data numbers on people

Dear MODS mailing list subscribers, 

I have a problem how to add authority data IDs (especially valueURIs) in copy specific provenance information according to MODS SCHEMA. The following example produces a MODS SCHEMA validation report:

    <mods:note
               type="ownership"
               displayLabel="Provenienz"	
               valueURI="http://d-nb.info/gnd/118677446"
               authorityURI="http://d-nb.info/gnd/"
               authority="gnd">Crusius,Martin
    </mods:note>

MODS SCHEMA validation report:
- Attribute 'authority' is not allowed to appear in element 'mods:note'.
- Attribute 'authorityURI' is not allowed to appear in element 'mods:note'.
- Attribute 'valueURI' is not allowed to appear in element 'mods:note'.

I would love to know if there is already any solution in MODS format or whether there are plans to correctly provide authority data IDs in provenance information.
 
Kind regards
Gerrit Kuhle
