MODS has the following concepts to organise information:

1. Main navigation bar (red box in the picture above): (for further on navigation go to MODS navigation)
   1. On the left side of this main navigation bar you find the links to main pages. And the starting point to create new pages in your present space (if you are allowed to do so).
   2. On the right side of this main navigation bar you find the main search and access to user settings and your personal space.
2. Spaces (green box in the picture above): this are websites a space is a website in MODS. Basically MODS contains of many websites:
   
   
   1. A space has a name and identifier (short name for the link),
   2. a sidebar (blue box abovein the top picture) on the left,
   3. a (sub) topbar (magenta box abovein the top picture) and
   4. a page (black box abovein the top picture) on the right
3. Page (black box abovein the top picture): this is where all informatie exists in the shape of text, pictures and macro's. In addition, a pages can have labels associated with it .
   There (see below). There is a read-only and a edit mode for a page:
   
   1. In the read-only mode, pages are like normal HTML web pages. For navigation go to to: MODS navigation. If you have the correct user rights, you can also add labels to a page in the read-only mode.
      
   2. In the edit mode (if you have the correct user rights you find the edit option on the left side of the page topbar, the magenta box above) you can modify a page:
      
      1. Text: all text can be edited through a "What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG)" editor (although it is html under water). In addition you can use macro's to do and automate special things
      2. Macro's: are a smart ways way to create dynamic content on your pages, such as content menu of the pages and 's for a page, overview of child pages, overview of related documents based on labels, etc.
4. Labels are a convenient way to associate pages on with comparable topics. This can help with navigation (MODS navigation) and, for instance, for generating filtered lists of pages on specific topics (labels). See For all existing labels: All labels in MODS
