All about Crosswalks

This page lists the metadata standards other than Dublin Core and MARC that we have considered so far, for which Web-accessible crosswalks have been written. The crosswalks are listed in Section 2. This section also has pointers to several useful sites that have large collections of crosswalks, but such information is incomplete because each crosswalk exists in a complex social context. To fill in the gaps, Section 1 identifies, for each metadata standard: 1) the home page of the organization that sponsors it; 2) the latest version of the complete specification; and 3) formal encodings, such as XML and RDF. Section 3 lists papers that discuss theoretical issues in the creation of crosswalks.
