REPEATABLE MODS Element name: <note> Short definition: General textual information relating to a resource. Input guidelines: Select one of the pre-specified note types from the dropdown field. The following note types are currently available: Notes displayed on the Collections portal (public) general (default): Input notes intended for public display on front end and not accommodated by other elements or note types. Template note text available for assets where only metadata is published to the Collections Portal and for redacted assets: Metadata text templates Notes not displayed on the Collections portal (internal) file path: Input file reference to aid location of related files in separate storage systems. It is best practice to reference the tape vault location of the original presentation grade file ingested into the DAMS.

Depending on the direction of mapping necessary, check
The following specific guidelines apply for the DAMS:
Dublin Core field | Mapping condition | MODS element | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
dc:description | MODS to DC | note | Currently all information from <note> elements is mapped to dc:description, including note types intended for internal use. |
Map notes from MARC 21 fields 5XX to <note> elements with an appropriate type from the set of types available in the DAMS (citation, condition, date captured, date issued, date other, description, file path, general, merged, origin, scale, utlGeoDataID). Cf. the following examples:MARC 21 field Mapping condition MODS element Notes 033 MARC indicator 2 has value 0 note[@type="date captured"] Approximate mapping. 500 note[@type="general"] Approximate mapping. Depending on the type of material described by the catalog record, other note types might be appropriate (e.g. when dealing with material cataloged according to DCRM, copy-specific descriptive information might be recorded in MARC field 500). 507 note[@type="scale"] 524 note[@type="citation"] Approximate mapping. 541 note[@type="origin"] Map together with information from MARC field 561, if available. 561 note[@type="origin"] Map together with information from MARC field 541, if available.
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
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.
