[DDI-users] DDI-XML to MARC-XML

Fri Aug 5 10:52:54 EDT 2011

Sorry to not be more helpful from the ICPSR side on this. Here is the response from our Web developer Matthew Richardson:

Shortly after the new ICPSR site launched in Sept. 2009, ICPSR switched its MARC process. We had received a lot of feedback from librarian ORs that they wanted the ability to create custom subsets of ICPSR metadata in MARC format, rather than one large batch file. You can now download MARC as MARCXML from any search results page, so librarians can use our search to create their own subsets.

In the process of building that tool, we shifted away from XSLT and built the XML-generation tool using java/jsp. We streamlined our MARC, stripping out some fields and refining others. Since then, we’ve made other changes to the MARC based upon feedback from librarians.

Because of these changes, we no longer have a crosswalk, either in XSLT or in any other format. The file that spells out how the MARC is generated is written in jsp and makes no reference to DDI elements in any fashion.

I'm pulling in the MARC format information and will be creating a mapping for inclusion in the DDI-Lifecycle high level documentation. If there is already some mapping for DDI-Lifecycle out there (transforms etc) please send them on. 

Thanks

This is all useful, and ultimately what we find should go on: http://www.ddialliance.org/metadata-resources

Michelle,

There used to be a mapping published on the web site for DDI-Codebook. I put it in a book chapter in "Cataloging the Web: Metada, AACR, and MARC21" ALCTS Papers on Library Technical Services and Collections, No. 10. chapter 23 "DDI, the Data Documentation Initiative: An Introduction tot he Standard and Its Role in Social Science Data Access" written under the name Wendy Treadwell.

I can't seem to lay my hands on my pdf copy but will copy out the appropriate table and send along in a bit.

FYI please note that if the citation is for the XML then it should be the citation from 1.1. However, some people treat the study citation and the instance citation as the same object. So this is not always clear.

I'm also checking to see if we did more than the DC mapping for DDI-Lifecycle

Good day everyone!

Wondering if anyone has or can point me to a crosswalk from DDI-XML to MARC-XML. Does this exist?

Thanks,
Michelle
