displayLabel

Subelements:

subTitle

name
This element contains information about the author or editor of the publication. It can also be used to give the name of the thesis advisor, a patent holder, a patent applicant or the sponsor. <name> is a wrapper element and has at least one namePart subelement. In most cases there will be at least two namePart elements; one for the family name and one for the given name.
In the case of theses for acquiring a degree, the name of the institution has to be included (use the same formatting as for affiliation, see name/affiliation below): <name type="corporate"><namePart>the granting university</namePart>
<role><roleTerm authority="marcrelator" type="code">dgg</roleTerm></role></name>

Attributes:
ID
use this ID to refer to the /mods/extension/daiList/idenifier element for the DAI of the author, see Annex:DAI schema. The ID must be a NCName: start with a letter or underscore, followed by zero or more characters (but no colons).
type
values: personal, corporate, conference

Subelements:
namePart
Attributes:
type
values: family, given, termsOfAddress. 'infix' will be proposed as a valid value to the MODS maintenance agency. The intended use of 'infix' is for what is called in Dutch "het tussenvoegsel"; in 'Jan van de Meer' is 'Jan' the given name, 'van de' the infix and 'Meer' the family name. For the time being, it is advised to add the infix at the end of the family name, separated from the family name by a comma, e.g., <namePart type="family">Meer, van de</namePart>. For Belgian authors the infix ("tussenvoegsel") is part of the family name: <namePart type="family">Van de Meer</namePart>
When initial and full name are both available use this formatting:
<namePart type="given">J. (John)</namePart>
Use the value termsOfAddress only for generational suffixes like Jr. or Sr. Omit titles (like "prof" or "dr").
affiliation
Affiliation at the time of publication. Represented as a dot limited list starting with the name of the institution followed by organizational sub-units. The list follows the organizational hierarchy.
In the case of a conference, use affiliation for describing the location of the conference.
role
Subelements:
roleTerm
use one of the three letter-codes of http://www.loc.gov/marc/sourcecode/relator/relatorlis Anchor_Hlt184574935_Hlt184574935trelatorlist.html#codes. The most relevant codes are aut (author), edt (editor), dgg (degree grantor), pta (patent applicant), pth (patent holder), spn (sponsor) and ths (thesis advisor)

Attributes:
type
Use uri if the identifier is an URI; using URIs is the preferred way. Otherwise use one of the values suggested the MODS User Guidelines: isrc, ismn, issue number, istc, upc

location
Subelements:
url
Use only URLs that point to versions of the publication outside the repository. An example is the URL of the publication at the site of the publisher. This should only be used if there is no DOI or other identifier supplied by the publisher (see identifier element). The location within the repository is in the object file section of the container of which the MODS record is also part.

part
Can only be used as subelement of <relatedItem type="host"> or of <relatedItem type="series">. The subelement date is not used. For publication date, use <dateIssued> within originInfo of the publication itself (not of the host item).
Subelements:detail
ex: <detail type="volume"><number>30</number></detail>
Use type="volume" for the number of a report, research paper etc. in a series.

Attributes:
IDref
The value of IDref must be the same as the value of the corresponding ID attribute of the referencing name element.
Note that the value of the ID/IDref attribute must be unique in an OAI response. This response can contain several MODS records. Most repository applications number the author IDs/IDrefs per metadata record. To make the ID/IDref unique within an OAI response, it is advised to pre-pend it with the local identifier of the record.
authority
The value of authority is preferably an URI. The Dutch repositories have a national digital author identifier; the namespace of the authority is info:eu-repo/dai/nl. For authorities that are not registered, a local URI must be used.
