We are cataloging a collection of New Mexican santos, and our
plan is to describe each object in a metadata record and add a “related
image” section describing the digital image created from the object. Our
goal is to load the images into a shared digital repository that is built on a
MODS schema. We’ve successfully created a VRA 4.0 template for the
collection/images but now we need to map the VRA records to a MODS metadata
template. We used the Getty’s Metadata Standard Crosswalk as a base,
however not all of the VRA fields have a related mapping to MODS. Has
anyone done a successful mapping from VRA to MODS or could you direct us
to other resources that would help us do this?
Thanks,
Tom Riedel
