Research / data mapping
Crosswalks establish relationships of equivalence between data elements in two or more 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).
The BCAUL project involved each of these scenarios.
- ICA-AtoM is built around ICA descriptive standards.
- The application needs to be able to import and export data in a number of exchange standards: EAD, MARC21, MODS.
- The software must be adapted to Canadian descriptive standards (RAD).
- ICA-AtoM is a branch of Qubit,
