MODS is a schema for describing a resource such as a book, photograph, digital object or any number of other items. Any particular xml file that adheres to the mods schema can be loaded into an online catalog or library that is capable of processing that file.
- There are several top level elements.
- Some can be repeated. ex
<titleInfo> - Some cannot. ex
<originInfo>

- There are a number of rules in fact.
- A poor way to document and catalog collections.

- This program does not use stylesheets.
- Stylesheets are used to transform specific XML formats into another.
- Since the input here is controlled we know what kind of XML to expect from any given Excel file.
- The transformations here are done programmatically.
