Outline of Elements and Attributes
in MODS Version 3.3
This document contains a listing of elements and
their related attributes in MODS Version 3.3 with values or value sources
where applicable. It is an "outline" of the schema. Items
highlighted in red indicate
changes made to MODS in Version 3.3.
All top-level elements and all attributes are optional. Subelements are optional unless indicated as optional. Attributes
are not in a mandated sequence and not repeatable (per XML rules). "Ordered" below
means the subelements must occur in the order given. Elements are repeatable unless otherwise noted.
"Authority" attributes are either followed
by codes for authority lists (e.g., iso639-2b) or "see" references
that link to documents that contain codes for identifying authority
lists.
For additional information about any MODS elements (except for new 3.3 elements), please see the MODS
User Guidelines.
