Crosswalks and Mappings

Since realizing the need for standards to more effectively share collections-levels metadata, several groups have invested time and effort to develop crosswalks between existing standards, and existing software schemas (like at GRBio). We provide links to these resources here and ask that you add more if you have them.

Initially, we are using a Google Spreadsheet as the collaboration platform for crosswalks. We will try to keep a snapshot of those documents deposited here, but the snapshots are not the master documents.
