Creating a Metadata Crosswalk Table
I started this assignment, much like I did for the Dublin Core assignment, by creating a table with the
MARC field in the first column. I omitted the leader and control codes (first 24 character positions) per the
assignment’s instructions.
In assigning the first column, I used the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data Field List to
determine the main entry fields and subfields. I then compared these to the MARC to Dublin Core Crosswalk,
and entered those in the second column. Although it is counterintuitive to the assignment, I chose not to
combine fields. Instead I entered each as a separate line item in order to illustrate the granularity of MARC.
Particularly, the MARC fields of 260, 500 and 533 could be combined, but separating them allowed me to
explore the subfields and how they are expressed in Dublin Core. This gave me a visual example and greater
clarity on how the mapping works. This could also supplement the data lost in mapping to Dublin Core.
As I became more familiar with the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data Field List, I was able to
understand the subfields and how they compared to Dublin Core. I also referred to the MARC Reference
Materials, Part XI for the breakdown of a sample MARC record and what each entry meant.
I found the MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data Field List to be the most helpful resource, because
it gave a detailed explanation of the fields and their methodology. I was able to see the descriptions of the
subfields and how they related to Dublin Core. Once I made sense of this, the categories fell into place. Keeping
the line item format helped me to distinguish the categories and see their differences and similarities, and gain a
greater understanding of MARC.
