Excerpt

The following sections present a description of all bibliographic metadata fields of the HBO Bibliographic Metadata application profile of MODS.

...

The MODS records is placed inside a DIDL Resource element of a Component in an Item with semantic type set to "info:eu-repo/semantics/DescriptiveMetadata".

<didl:Item>

  <!-- Semantic Type -->
  <didl:Descriptor>
    <didl:Statement mimeType="application/xml">

</didl:Item>

A MODS record starts with the mods root element. If not declared elsewhere in the XML document, the mods element MUST declare a namespace by setting the xmlns attribute of the mods element to http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3. We are using version 3.4. This SHOULD be made explicit by using the version attribute. Referencing the XML schema is optional

      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3 http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-3-4.xsd"
      version="3.4">
    (...)
  </mods>

</didl:Resource>

...

The title information of the bibliographic work is split into two elements: a main title and an optional subTitle. Both are being placed under the titleInfo top-level element.

Code Block
xml
xml
titleExamplexml

(...)
<titleInfo>
  <title>Main Title</title>
  <subTitle>Subtitle</title>

(...)

...

An abstract of the contents are contained within the top-level element abstract.

Code Block
xml
xml
titleExamplexml

(...)
<abstract xml:lang="en">A short abstract.</abstract>
(...)

...

The semantic type of the work is specified in the top-level element genre. Its value is based on a controlled vocabulary in the info:eu-repo semantics namespace.

Code Block
xml
xml
titleExamplexml

(...)
<genre>info:eu-repo/semantics/BachelorThesis</genre>

To maintain backwards compatibility with other systems it is recommended to define the toplevel organisation using both the default MODS guidelines and the HBO extension. Supplying the underlying organisational units using a dot separated array is optional. The MODS instance and the extension instance of a organisation may be joined using the ID attribute of the toplevel name element.

...

The top-level element classification offers space to include classifications. In this element, different classification-source codes from the Library of Congress may be used. For the context of this application profile, the use of the Nederlandse Basis Classificatie (NBC) is also permitted. This classification however is not included in the list of classification sources by the Library of Congress. The use of the NBC MUST be indicated by the value "info:eu-repo/classification/Nbc" in the authorityURI attribute. The value of the element MUST be the identifier. The descriptive name of the identifier MAY be included in the displayLabel attribute.
