MODS Element name: <subject><cartographics> Short definition: Cartographic (maps or charts) data indicating spatial coverage. Input guidelines: Fill out all cartographic subelements or leave all blank. Use to record scale (e.g. 1:25,000), projection, and/or coordinates. You may record: "not drawn to scale", "scales differ", or "no projection statement" in these fields.

| DAMS form field name | form field type | required | MODS element | Collections Portal display | notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coordinates | text field | no | subject/cartographics/coordinates | Cartographic Information | Contains a statement of coordinates covered by the resource. One or more statements may be supplied. Enter point coordinates in decimal format, with the value for latitude first (e.g.: 18.2975,-65.9914). Preferably, use positive values for coordinates on the Northern and Eastern hemisphere, and negative values for coordinates on the Southern and Western hemisphere. If you provide a compass direction, place it after the numeric coordinate, not before.
Information from this field is consolidated with other cartographic subject information for display on the Collections portal. | ||
| Scale | text field | no | subject/cartographics/scale | Cartographic Information | Use this field to describe cartographic resources only. To record scale for non-cartographic resources, use the Note field with note type "scale". Information from this field is consolidated with other cartographic subject information for display on the Collections portal. | ||
| Coordinate / spatial reference informationsystem | text field | no | subject/cartographics/projection | Cartographic Information Information about the Coordinate or Spatial Reference System. For map content, typically a projection statement is available. You may also record: "no projection statement". In addition, this field can include information about coordinate system and datum, if available. | Information from this field is consolidated with other cartographic subject information for display on the Collections portal. |
