Metadata Migrator


The Metadata Migrator is a tool to move data into OAI-compliant records. More flexible than MarcEdit but more complex, if you have MARC records to start with. If you are working from an Access database, Metadata Migrator is a good option.
Using the Metadata Migrator, collections specialists can map or crosswalk the field names of their institution's records into Dublin Core elements to create OAI-compliant XML records. They can also create a data provider that allows OAI harvesters to serve out these records within larger digital library structures, including such sites as OAIster and AmericanSouth.org.
