MODS was first announced for trial use in June, 2002. As of JuneJuly 20102013 it is at version 3.45.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://presentationswww.alaloc.orggov/imagesstandards/1mods/1f/Rileymods-3-5-announcement.pdfhtml |title= MODS and MADS: Current implementations and future3.5 directionsreleased |accessdate=20112014-0803-0117}}</ref>
 
The number of users of MODS is unknown. Implementers are encouraged to register their uses of MODS in the [http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/registry.php implementation registry] on the official MODS website. To date there are about 35 projects listed in the registry, although it is assumed that many others are making use of the standard. Users are primarily operating in the area of [[digital libraries]], and some of the registered uses are in [[digital library]] projects at the [[Library of Congress]].
