Comment 10 for bug 1235497

If the community wants to continue with a custom schema. I would suggest renaming the schema and providing a definition that includes the extra fields as well as code to remove the custom fields to get back to the original MODS definition. As well, if any of the APIs are returning these modified MODS records currently, then apply the transformation before returning the data as MODS. Or offer a hook to get MODS data and one to get the data as it is in the custom schema.

I will help in either case (the retaining of the custom schema or moving the custom data out of MODS and into Perl code before an INSERT or UPDATE).
