MODS Element description
Element <originInfo>
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/origininfo.html
Guidelines for use
<originInfo> is a container element that contains all subelements related to publication and origination information. It includes all dates associated with the creation, issuance, and/or publication of the resource. Dates associated with the temporal content of the resource go under <subject>, and dates associated with the metadata go in <recordInfo>. Data is input only within each subelement.
Attributes
Currently no attributes for originInfo are implemented in the DAMS.
Subelements
The following subelements of <originInfo> are used in the DAMS:
- place
- (dateCreated)
- (dateIssued)
- (copyrightDate)
- (publisher)
Subelement <originInfo><place>
Guidelines for use
<place> is a container element for <placeTerm> to indicate place of publication/origin. <place> is used in connection with the origin of a resource, i.e., creation, publication, issuance, etc. The <place> element should be omitted if no information about the originating place of the resource is known.
Descriptive standards such as RDA or DACS may be used to determine which places to record for published resources. If a place of origin is known for an unpublished resource, it should also be recorded in <place><placeTerm>.
Places as subjects are included under <subject><geographic> or <subject><hierarchicalGeographic>.
Repeat <place> for recording multiple places.
Attributes
No attributes for <place>.
Subelements
The following subelement of <originInfo><place> is used in the DAMS:
- placeTerm
Subelement <originInfo><place><placeTerm>
Guidelines for use

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.
