Oh, I see, I was converting MODS3 with a MODS2 stylesheet. I swapped out
the header info and made a few modifications and it transformed fine.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [MODS] MODS transformation
Well,
The problem is a mis-typing; it shouldn't refer to "marc:code", but
"mods:code" instead.
The larger issue is that we've got an unpublished upgrade to this
stylesheet (it's actually still for MODS2 to MARC).
I expect we'll post it soon; it solves this and a number of other issues,
and makes it work for MODS3.

Hi,
I have a quick question about transforming MODS documents into MARCXML. I
have a database that has the ability to output MODS records for sound
recordings entered in it. I was doing a quick experiment this morning to
see if I could transform this information into the MARC21 format, using
the stylesheets provided on the LoC site. Every time I run the
transformation (in OxygenXML using Saxon), I get the following error
E Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected. null
E Namespace prefix marc has not been declared MODS2MARC21slim.xsl
file:/C:/xml/mods/MODS2MARC21slim.xsl
its pointing to line 249 of the MODS2MARC21slim.xsl stylesheet
248 <xsl:when
test="mods:originInfo/mods:place/mods:code[@authority='marc']">
249 <xsl:value-of
select="mods:originInfo/mods:place/marc:code[@authority='marc']"/>
250 </xsl:when>
Does anybody know what's going here, I tried deleting the entire <choose>
(since I'm not using the originInfo tag yet, but I ended up with a
document contianing only the initial xml declaration. Has anyone else had
luck using this stylesheet?
Thanks,
-Don
