Hi All,

I have a question for metadata/cataloguing folk who use MODS.    I am 
developing a MODs description for vertical print airphotos that we have 
scanned. According to the MODs guidelines, there are two 
<typeOfResource> that I think I could use: (1) cartographic, or (2) 
still image.

My question, has anyone used 
<typeOfResource>cartographic</typeOfResource>to describe an aerial 
photograph?

Or, is it better to use <typeOfResource>still image</typeOfResource> and 
further define it with a genre statement such as <genre 
authority="lctgm">Aerial Photograph</genre>?

Cheers,
