MODS Element description
Element <genre>
httphttps://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/namegenre.html
Guidelines for use
Describe the content of the resource (e.g.; daguerreotypes, short films, portraits). Use the Form/Medium field set to characterize the physical form of the resource itself. Designate a primary genre, even if only one genre is entered. Use authority control and enter term from a recommended vocabulary: Art & Architecture Thesaurus, Thesaurus for Graphic Materials, Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms, Library of Congress Subject Headings. Follow your unit/collection guidelines.

Depending on the direction of mapping necessary, check
- DC to MODS: https://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/dcsimple-mods.html
- MODS to DC: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/mods-dcsimple.html
The following specific guidelines apply for the DAMS:
| Dublin Core field | Mapping condition | MODS element | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| dc:type | genre | Approximate mapping. Depending on the exact content, dc:type might also map to MODS element typeOfResource. |
MARC 21
see http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/mods-mapping.html. The following specific guidelines apply for the DAMS:
| MARC 21 field | Mapping condition | MODS element | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| * | genre | The values suggested by the LoC's standard mapping for MODS genre[@authority] attributes are currently not supported for manual ingest into the DAMS. | |
| 655 | genre | Look for genre terms in MARC field 655. This MARC field can also contain form information, which should be mapped to DAMS MODS field <physicalDescription><form>. |
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.
