LISTSERV 16.0 - MODS Archives

Hi Suzanna,

Thank you for sharing this! How do you know if your linked data is really linking and doing what it’s supposed to do? Is there a place one can check?  Also from what I’m reading it seems like almost every field could have linked data (language, genre, names, relators, etc.) how do you decide which linked data to include? Personally I can’t keep production going at an amount that satisfies my administration AND include every possible linked data field, but I’m having a hard time letting things go.

Hello Melissa,

We have been playing with the idea indeed, but we have no idea if it works as it should…

We have been doing this as a test. Some of these take the ‘possibilities’ to the extreme, but we wanted to know what’s possible and what works.  We do this type of enhancement manually as xml mods files an upload them, so there is no workflow at all… it’s a bit mad at the moment.

Subject: [Newsletter] [MODS] URI Automation

Hi there,

Has anyone heard of or practice the automation of adding URIs to MODS records? I’m aware of ways that it can be incorporated when converting spreadsheet data to MODS, but was wondering if anyone had a different workflow for adding the identifiers?

Sincerely,
Melissa
