Research / data mapping
Crosswalks establish relationships of equivalence between data elements in two or more descriptive, metadata, or data exchange standards.
Practical purpose: required when an application built around one standard needs to interact with data structured according to other standards.
- Import: take in data originally structured by a different standard.
- Export: output data in form structured by different standard, typically for use by application built on that standard.
- Design: expand user base of application by adapting it to other descriptive communities (use different standards to describe same or different types of materials).
