    We use Generic XML to transform a MODS Pure OAI feed for Primo VE.  This entry links to various examples, including logic and functions, that have worked in the Pure/MODS/Generic XML environment. 
    If you can suggest any improvements, it would be great to hear about them @ joan.kolarik@weizmann.ac.il

    The normalization rule is PURE_MODS_XML. I have not saved it in the Normalization Rules > Community section because I feel that the information is more accessible as individual entries in the CKC. (If anyone requests it there, I'll be happy to add it)


    Starts-With to Check for Text at Beginning of Field
