I've made some revisions of the MODS User Guidelines for version 3.1. The
previous version didn't reflect the addition of <part> at the <mods>
level, so I added this (the change was made in v. 3.1). I also added some
examples for some of the other changes that we made for v. 3.1 from 3.0
(e.g. objectPart attribute for language; type attributes for genre and
form). There were also some wording changes suggested by a member of the
DLF Aquifer metadata group (while developing a MODS profile).

The 3.1 guidelines are at:
