MODS Element name: <physicalDescription><form> Short definition: A designation of a particular physical presentation of a resource, including the physical form or medium of material for a resource. Input guidelines: Characterize the form of the digitized or analog original using terms describing the material, support, or technique. Use authority control AAT, TGM, LCGFT or locally controlled vocabularies. This field/element set is not used to describe the content of a resource. Use the Genre and/or Type of Resource elements to describe the content of the resource. |

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:format | form | Approximate mapping. Depending on the exact content, dc:format might also map to MODS elements internetMediaType or extent. |
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 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 007 | form* | The values suggested by the LoC's standard mapping for MODS form[@authority] attributes are currently not supported for manual ingest into the DAMS. | 008 | form* | The values suggested by the LoC's standard mapping for MODS form[@authority] attributes are currently not supported for manual ingest into the DAMS. | |
| 655 | form | Look for form terms in MARC field 655. This MARC field can also contain genre information, which should be mapped to DAMS MODS field <genre>. |
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.
