I know that you can do it with MarcEdit, or another way is to use  xslt from DC to MARCXML (http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/xslt/DC2MARC21slim.xsl ) and then use the stylesheet from MARCXML to MODS (http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/MARC21slim2MODS3-4.xsl). 
As for FGDC I don't know.

Does anyone know of any freely available DC to MODS and FGDC to MODS transformations?

Thanks for any help,

Hi Jennifer,

The Library of Congress has a DC to MODS xsl available so you don't have to go through MARC:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/simpleDC2MODS.xsl

There is a whole page of LOC conversions for MODS here:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/mods-conversions.html

FGDC is a little more difficult to find...

This paper mentions an FGDC > MODS crosswalk, but the link in the citation is broken:
http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1174&context=libraryscience
	Elaine L. Westbrooks, "FGDC to MODS Crosswalk," 2003, 
	http://metadatawg.mannlib.cornell.edu/elaine/fgdc/ (accessed 30 April 2003).

This D-Lib article is from 2000 and has a FGDC > DC > MARC21 mapping table, which might help you get started:
http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january00/chandler/01chandler.html

You might also ask on the Islandora users list: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/islandora
Islandora is a Drupal/Fedora digital repository platform and I know there are people using both FGDC and MODS in the Islandora community.

Please let us know if you turn anything else up!

Best,

Dear Jennifer,

There is a (Simple) DC-to-MODS stylesheet at:

http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/simpleDC2MODS.xsl

It will output MODS 3.2, which will tell you it is a little outdated (current MODS version is 3.4) but not much.

As for FGDC to MODS, try this:

http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1174&context=libraryscience

It is to an article published by Elaine Westbrooks containing a reference to a FGDC to MODS stylesheet, and a link to it.  However, the link no longer exists.  I don't know if there is a way to track the stylesheet down, but such a thing seems to have existed.

Cordially,

Kevin
