Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS)

The Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) is a standardized way to describe and organize information about various types of resources, such as books, articles, and digital objects. Think of MODS as a structured system that helps libraries and archives categorize items consistently. It provides specific fields for key details like title, author, publication date, and subject matter, making it easier to search for and retrieve information. By using MODS, institutions can share and preserve their collections more effectively, ensuring that users can find what they need quickly and accurately.
