REQUIRED REPEATABLE MULTILINGUAL MODS Element name: <name> Short definition: Person, organization, or event (conference, meeting, etc.) associated in some way with the resource. Input guidelines: At least one contributor name or "no attribution" statement required. Multiple Contributors can be added to an asset's metadata. Designate a primary contributor, even if only one contributor is entered. If one contributor has multiple roles, repeat entire Contributor section with new role term. To input name and type, use authority list of names (NAF, VIAF, or local authority). If no authority is available for personal names, input Last Name, First Name. For local authorities, enter authority URI with a description of the authority file. For role terms, input MARC 21 Relator terms (not codes), ULAN terms or local authority terms.

DAMS form field name | form field type | required | MODS element | Collections Portal display | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Contributor Name | text field | yes | namePart | If Role term value is 'publisher', name will display as:
Otherwise, name will display as:
Multiple name entries are concatenated. | Name parts should appear in the same order as in their authorized form (the authority cited in the metadata). If no authority is used for personal names, last name or family name should appear first, followed by a comma, followed by first or given names. Enter "no attribution" if no contributor is provided in the resource and if no contributor information can be supplied. |
Contributor type | dropdown selection
| yes | (attribute of name) | N/A | Indicates what type of name is recorded. Choose "not applicable" if contributor information is "no attribution". |
Primary contributor | dropdown selection
| yes | (attribute of name) | N/A | When entering multiple contributors, designate one as primary for display and/or citation purposes. One contributor must be designated as primary even if only one contributor is entered. |
Authority | dropdown selection
| no, but recommended | (attribute of name) | N/A | Authority control for names is strongly recommended. Consult one of the following if applicable: |
Authority URI | text field | see note | (attribute of name) | N/A | When using a local authority file, provide a URI that identifies the file. The URI should identify the authority file as a whole, not a specific entry. If you selected "naf" or "viaf" in the Authority form field, leave the field blank. The DAMS will automatically add URIs for LoCNAF and VIAF respectively. |
DAMS form field name | form field type | required | MODS element | Collections Portal display | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Role term | text field | yes | roleTerm | Role term value determines whether a name is displayed as Creator/Contributor or Publisher; see Entity name | Enter role term from a local or recommended vocabulary: Enter "not applicable" if no attribution. |
(Role) Authority | dropdown selection
| no | (attribute of roleTerm) | N/A | Specify which vocabulary the role term comes from. |
(Role) Authority URI | text field | no | (attribute of roleTerm) | N/A | When using a local authority file, provide a URI that identifies the file. The URI should identify the authority file as a whole, not a specific entry. If you selected "marcrelator" or "ulan" in the Authority form field, leave this field blank. The DAMS will automatically add URIs. |
Role term language | text field | yes | (attribute of roleTerm) | N/A | Enter ISO-639-2 language code (3 letters). Default value is "eng" for English. Per asset, at least one entry for a Contributor's Role with Role term language "eng" is required, even if the Role term entry is "not applicable". |

name is a container element that contains all subelements related to name information.
Attribute name | Details | XPath syntax examples |
---|---|---|
type | values:
Indicates what type of name is recorded. Choose "not applicable" if contributor information is "no attribution". | name[@type="personal"] name[@type="corporate"] |
authority | values:
Authority control for names is strongly recommended. Consult one of the following if applicable: | name[@authority="naf"] name[@authority="viaf"] |
authorityURI | values:
When using a local authority file, provide a URI that identifies the file. The URI should identify the authority file as a whole, not a specific entry. | name[@authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names"] name[@authorityURI="http://viaf.org/viaf/data"] |
displayLabel | value:
This attribute provides additional text associated with the element if needed for display purposes. Currently, only the value "Contributor name" is supported in the DAMS. | name[@displayLabel="Contributor name"] |
usage | values:
When entering multiple contributors, designate one as primary for display and/or citation purposes. One contributor must be designated as primary even if only one contributor is entered.For additional contributors which are not primary, do not use the attribute. | name[@usage="primary"] |
The following subelements of name are used in the DAMS:
The name itself is always contained in a namePart subelement. Currently, the DAMS does not support breaking up names into parts (e.g. given and last name). Name parts should appear in the same order as in their authorized form (the authority cited in the metadata). If no authority is used for personal names, last name or family name should appear first, followed by a comma, followed by first or given names. Enter "no attribution" if no contributor is provided in the resource and if no contributor information can be supplied.
Currently no attributes for namePart are implemented in the DAMS.
No subelements for nameParts.
No attributes for role.
The following subelement of role is used in the DAMS:
Enter role term from a local or recommended vocabulary: Enter "not applicable" if no attribution.
Use the Relator term, not the Relator code (e.g. use "Forger" instead of "frg")

authority | values:
Specify which vocabulary the role term comes from. | name/role/roleTerm[@authority="marcrelator"] |
authorityURI | values:
When using a local authority file, provide a URI that identifies the file. The URI should identify the authority file as a whole, not a specific entry. | name/role/roleTerm[@authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators"] |
No Subelements for roleTerm.

In general, all MODS metadata is imported into the DAMS Solr server upon ingest. The ingest process generates Solr fields typically named according to the following schema:

The following table shows mappings between MODS elements and Solr fields for those fields that are currently used for display in the Collections portal, or where additional processing happens in Islandora or during the publishing process. Suffixes are ignored, unless relevant for the mapping.
