  (available in Excel format)
  • CHIN has mapped the Humanities Data Dictionary to other existing standards. This crosswalk is based on the Getty Standards Program's "Crosswalk of Metadata Element Sets for Art, Architecture, and Cultural Heritage Information and Online Resources" . It maps among:
    • CHIN Humanities Data Dictionary ,
    • Categories for the Description of Works of Art
    • Object ID
    • CIMI Access Points
    • VRA Core Categories
    • Dublin Core
• LC Network Development and MARC Standards Office. http://www.loc.gov/marc/marcdocz.html
  • Mapping between MARC and MODS, DC, GILS, Geospacial, etc.
