Dear All,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
To help us consider additions we might need to make to the current proposals,
attached is an analysis of MODS as it might relate to Level 3; many of the
comments may also be relevant for analysis for Level 2.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Anna and Chris<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
