Hi everyone. I thought this might be of interest to some of you:
I finally got around to pulling together a concise list of the fields in our CIS that map to EAD, MARC, and ISAD - in most cases, all three standards, regardless of content type. We still have some tweaking to do and alignment of fields between the content templates, but it's in a pretty good state now, I think: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rI5A2IS3yxD9w2sGRa-aACw We don't currently have a standard in place for the museum materials. Next step is to incorporate CDWA Lite and VRA into the mapping, using the Getty's crosswalk: http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/intrometadat a/crosswalks.html Background: a year and a half ago, we decided to integrate our archive, library, and museum materials into one collection information management system, IDEA at ALM, and develop it in such a way as to allow us to export any and all collection information types into any existing metadata standard. Additionally, because there are shared fields between the content types (using data input templates for each type of material), we can search very easily across all materials at once. If anyone has any recommendations or questions, please let me know!
