  Dublin Core/MARC/GILS Crosswalk
The following is a crosswalk between the fifteen elements in the Dublin Core Element Set and MARC 21 bibliographic data elements.
In the Dublin Core to MARC mapping, two mappings are provided, one for unqualified Dublin Core elements and the other for qualified.
Qualifiers used are generally based on the qualifiers approved by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative and documented in Dublin Core Qualifiers There are some qualifiers given (for Contributor, Creator, and Publisher) that have not been approved by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative; as these are further standardized, this crosswalk will be adjusted.

  Dublin Core - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dublin Core is a scheme of metadata that describes content and context of a digital work such as video, sound, image, text and composite media like web pages.
The Dublin Core is one standard for a set of descriptors (such as the title, publisher, subjects, etc.) that are used to catalog a wide range of networked resources, such as digitized text documents, photographs and audiovisual media.
The semantics of Dublin Core were established and are continually refined by an international, cross-disciplinary group of professionals from librarianship, computer science, text encoding, the museum community, and other related fields of scholarship and practice.

 A Grammar of Dublin Core
Strictly speaking, a Dublin Core element or qualifier is a unique identifier formed by a name (e.g., title) prefixed by the URI of the namespace in which it is defined, as in http://dublincore.org/2000/03/13-dces#title.
The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative is using this toolkit to manage its namespace [Open Metadata Registry], and a working group is formulating technical and policy guidelines for its ongoing management [DC-Registry].
If Dublin Core is too simple or generic to use as the native idiom of a particular application, pidgin statements may be extracted or translated from richer idioms that exist for specialized domains.

 MARC to Dublin Core Crosswalk
The following is a crosswalk between core MARC 21 bibliographic data elements and elements in the Dublin Core Element Set.
Since MARC is richer in data than Dublin Core, it differs from the Dublin Core/MARC Crosswalk in that multiple MARC fields are mapped to a Dublin Core element.
Dublin Core qualifiers with no suitable mappings are not included; these may be reconsidered at a later date.

 NC ECHO Dublin Core Implementation Guidelines
Dublin Core represents the lowest common denominator for creating metadata to facilitate maximum accessibility of resources across a broad spectrum of institution types.
The intention of the Dublin Core element set is to remain as simple and accessible as possible in order to allow a non-specialist to create descriptive records for online resources both easily and efficiently, while providing for optimum retrieval of those resources in an online environment.
In addition, while Dublin Core is relatively simple to learn and easy to use, particularly for those institutions that might not have a professional cataloger on staff, its elements cover the most essential information about a resource.
