MODS Examples
Most of these examples show how MODS elements are used in a complete record. There are no assumptions about what constitutes "full"; these are not intended to conform to any particular definition of what elements are required in a "full" MODS record (according to the MODS schema, there are not required elements, but at least one element must be present under the <mods> root).
