  8. Schema crosswalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_crosswalk

    This type of "translating" from one format to another is often called "metadata mapping" or "field mapping," and is related to "data mapping", and "semantic mapping". Crosswalks also have several technical capabilities. They help databases using different metadata schemes to share information. They help metadata harvesters create union catalogs.
