Subelement <recordInfo><recordOrigin>

Guidelines for use

Use to record information about the origin, or provenance of the MODS record including what methods were used to prepare the MODS record (machine generated or human prepared) and what transformations have been applied (e.g., the result of converting an existing MARC 21 record to MARCXML and to MODS). Follow your unit/collection guidelines per Supervisor/Collection Owner.

Mappings

Solr

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:

mods_value*_suffix

where

• value* can be one or multiple element, subelement or attribute names that allow to distinguish Solr fields
• suffix is s, t, ss, ms or mt, which refers to the type of data stored in a Solr field and how it is indexed. The Solr index usually contains multiple copies of each field with the same content, distinguished by their suffix.

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.
