Definitions for "Mods"
metadata object description schema. Developed by the Library of Congress, MODS is an XML-based schema for a bibliographic element set that may be used for a variety of purposes, and particularly for library applications. It is intended to be able to carry selected data from existing MARC 21 records as well as to enable the creation of original resource description records. It includes a subset of MARC fields and uses language-based tags rather than numeric ones, in some cases regrouping elements from the MARC 21 bibliographic format ( http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/).
Metadata Objects Description Schema
(Metadata Object Description Schema). MODS is intended to be able to carry selected data from existing MARC 21 records as well as to enable the creation of original resource description records. It includes a subset of MARC fields and uses language-based tags rather than numeric ones, in some cases regrouping elements from the MARC 21 bibliographic format. MODS is expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium. The standard is maintained by the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress with input from users. (Source: MARC Standards home page: http://www.loc.gov/marc/)
Is short for modifications, and is when a current game is modified by changing the items, characters, enemies, models, textures or storylines. Mods can extend the life of a game and are often published over the Internet.
Reworks of a program that usually target a specific theme or idea. Mod communities spring up around a game because people like to modify the original game to make it more interesting to a specific group.
The definition of this terms used to quite clear; when somebody MOD ified and existing game. The exact type of modification could include new textures, enemies, weapons or even gameplay features. For example when Doom 3 was released there were quite a few Flashlight Mods released. These allowed players to attach a working flashlight to any weapon instead of the default option which meant having to switch from weapon to flashlight (Very, very annoying and totally unrealistic). However, the release of half-Life 2 has confused matters slightly. In this case a Mod is a self-contained mini-game that may or may not make any changes to the game. For example it could just be a collection of maps. The difference between a map and a mod in this case is that the mod appears on the games list within Steam. It makes life much easier for the end user. In my opinion it's a pity they didn't create a new name for this to avoid confusion with other game s and engines.
Mods was a Norwegian rock band formed in Stavanger in 1980. The band recorded their first album Revansj! in 1981. The original members were vocalist Morten Abel, guitarist Rune Bjålid, guitarist Kurt Olsen, bassist Torkild Viig, keyboardist Helge Hummervoll and drummer Leif Arne Bergvin Nilsen.
