Meeting objectives
Increasingly, research and hence socio-economic and technical challenges require integration/interoperation of data. This requires processes to align the data in terms of appropriate values, accuracy, precision across datasets, which in turn requires mapping of metadata schemas describing the datasets to a common canonical form.  This is generally known as cross-walking.  The meeting will discuss existing cross-walking resources including documented mappings and tools, some of which are in the Metadata Standards Catalog (MSC) of the RDA, how they can be supplemented by new schemas and crosswalks, and how the crosswalk specifications and tools can be used to (semi-)automate actual data conversion to achieve integrated, interoperable, cross-domain data assets.
