Extract the MODS metadata of a bunch of METS files into a pandas DataFrame.
Extract the MODS/ALTO metadata of a bunch of METS/ALTO files into pandas DataFrames.

**modstool** converts the MODS metadata from METS files into a pandas DataFrame.
Column names are derived from the corresponding MODS elements. Some domain
knowledge is used to convert elements to a useful column, e.g. produce sets
instead of ordered lists for topics, etc. Parts of the tool are specific to
our environment/needs at the State Library Berlin and may need to be changed for
your library.
**alto4pandas** convets the metadata from ALTO files into a pandas DataFrame.
Column names are derived from the corresponding ALTO elements. Some columns
contain descriptive statistics (e.g. counts or mean) of the corresponding ALTO
elements or attributes.
