This mapping was created in reference to the CLIR YWCA digitization grant (2016-2018). Though not comprehensive of the metadata that could be exported from ArchivesSpace for a component record or its parent resource record or exported from Aleph for a title's record, it is representative of the fields that are used by Smith College Special Collections in Compass for digital object records.

The working spreadsheet for these mappings exist here.

An example MODS XML record based on this mapping may be found here.

An example of the exported metadata from Aleph may be found here.

This mapping should be used to facilitate the transform of exported ArchivesSpace component record data to MODS XML for the purpose of ingesting metadata into Compass. Note: For the following fields, see rules for inheritance of description for digital objects:

1. Agents
2. Subjects
3. Language of materials
4. Physical description
5. Scope and content
6. Conditions governing access
7. Conditions governing use
8. Arrangement

The rules for inheritance outline the level(s) from which description is being pulled for digital object record.
