  • add <placeIdentifier> to properly identify geo entity see #4
  • unclear what this structure is trying to say ka ta and calcutta appear twice which seems superfluous. IND does not appear to be a geographical subsection of Calcutta. If ་ལིཀ་ཏ is a relevant alternative placeTerm it should appear without nesting next to the others.

• Missing @transliteration attribute on elements with with tib-Latn or chi-Latn

• empty <originInfo/> is invalid see #2

• inconsistent use of @lang / @xml:lang attribute. The language of the record is not defined, in <languageOfCataloging>. Consequently elements like <name>, or @type="translated" are without language data. see #3

• <recordInfo> is missing.

• <mods> root is missing desirable attributes @version, @schemaLocation, @xmlns:xsi:
