What is Metadata Crosswalks? • A semantic mapping of metadata elements across metadata schema specifications. Crosswalks permit searching across multiple databases that use different schema. • From: Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science, Miriam A. Drake,P1881. • A crosswalk is a table or chart that shows the relationships and equivalencies (and highlights the inevitable gaps) between two or more metadata formats • From: Introduction to Metadata, Mary S. Woodley,
Crosswalk Means: • 為因應Metadata Interoperability互通性 ,設計一套對照表,使兩個不同Metadata系統所含項目可對照(Mapping),維持一致的品質 • 如:USMARC與Dublin Core的對照表,EAD與USMARC的對照表等。 • 透過Crosswalk對照,可在資料庫檢索搜尋到不同的異質資料(如:圖書、藏品、光碟、影音等)
Different Metadata format • 圖書館社群:MARC, MODS • 博物館社群:CDWA, VRA, CIDOC • 檔案館社群:EAD • 政府社群:GILS • 視覺資源社群:VRA Core Categories • 植物標本館社群:HISPID, DarwinCore • 教育社群:IEEE LOM • 音樂社群:SMDL
Crosswalks • 理想的對照應指出三個內涵

Challenges for Crosswalks(1) • No two metadata schemes are 100% equivalent 沒有兩種詮釋資料可完全搭配 • “lateral” (one-way) mappings from one scheme to another 具單項性的對照特性 • scheme A to scheme B and from scheme B to scheme A. (見下張)
Challenges for Crosswalks(2) • Problems • one-to-many mapping 一對多的特性 • One scheme may allow an element to be repeated more than once while another only allows that element to appear once with multiple terms in it schema A允許一個元素可以重複,但schemaB元素僅能出現一次 例:DC Creator 可重複出現,MARC主要作者欄僅能出現一次
Challenges for Crosswalks(3) • Schemes may have different data formats (eg: John Doe or Doe, John) 不同的著錄格式 • An element in one scheme may be indexed but the equivalent element in the other scheme is not 選取被索引的元素不同 • Use different controlled vocabularies 使用不同的控制詞彙 • Schemes may change their standards over time 標準的修訂
How to Solve? • Need to Compromise 需要妥協與制定標準 • Here are some standards (資料來源:wikipedia) • MARC to Dublin Core (Library of Congress) http://loc.gov/marc/marc2dc.html • Dublin Core to MARC21 (Library of Congress) http://www.loc.gov/marc/dccross.html • Dublin Core to EAD (Getty) http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/intrometadata/dc_ead.html

Findings & Results(1) • In order to have a useful and good Interoperability Union System (Catalog), We may use Metadata Crosswalks Standard Table to map different types of Metadata schema • Use Crosswalks to maintain “element’s consistency”, and “authority” • Crosswalk Table would not be seen on system,but it’s like a game rule if you want to join
Findings & Results(2) • DC是公認最適合應用在跨知識領域描述格式的對映工作 • 簡單(Simple):只有15個欄位,廣度夠 • 有修飾詞(Qualifier):因為欄位會經修正和編碼。 • 易用與易懂的特性 • 簡單的DC紀錄是可以做為建立複雜的詮釋資料之基礎。 • Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI)機構維護
