[CODE4LIB] MODS experts here?

2013-09-06 Thread Patrick Hochstenbach
Hi, I need some advise on creating MODS records for our institutional repository. In particular I wonder how best to express the different access restrictions on digital files when a record contains more than one full-text file. E.g. what we do now is write something like: location url

Patrick- There are some things in MODS that are close to addressing this problem, for example you could create a part wrapper around each file, but my reading of the docs says that may not be the intended use of the part element (depending in part on whether the files represent different

I would echo that reference to METS. It does allow you to carry the descriptive metadata in MODS, but also to explicitly associate access restrictions with specific files. We've had success with recording information about individual files in a relational database, along with pointers to

[CODE4LIB] Collection Naming Convention Question

2013-09-06 Thread Matthew Sherman
Hello Code4Libbers, I just took over responsibility for the institutional repository at my work and one of the collections is labelled proceedings. I find this to be a rather confusing term even though it is referring to conference and symposium proceedings. It is just not so obvious to someone
