Other mappings for art, architecture and cultural heritage information (including CDWA, Object ID, the CIMI schema, MARC, and Dublin Core) can be found in Introduction to Metadata by Tony Gill, Anne Gilliland-Swetland and Murtha Baca, published by the Getty Information Institute, v. 2.0 (2000).

More mappings can be found on the excellent MetaForm Web page, hosted by the State and University Library at Göttingen (SUB), Germany. MetaForm is described as "a database of metadata formats with a special emphasis on the Dublin Core and its manifestations as they are expressed in various implementations." It contains crosswalks between the Dublin Core Element Set and its various dialects and other mappings. The MetaForm service is part of the German META-LIB Project.

A good discussion of crosswalking issues can be found in the following papers:

Margaret St. Pierre and William P. La Plant, Issues in crosswalking content metadata standards. (NISO White Paper). Bethesda, Md.: National Information Standards Organisation, 15 October 1998.

This page will be updated from time-to-time, so if anyone knows about other metadata mappings or cross-walks, I would be grateful if they could contact me (e-mail: m.day@ukoln.ac.uk) and I will add the relevant links to this page.

Work on this Web page was initially carried out for the Resource Organisation And Discovery in Subject-based services (ROADS) project funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the UK higher education funding councils under its Electronic Libraries (eLib) Programme.
