Has anyone done any work on mapping the ISO standard on geospatial metadata to any existing standards relating to archives? All data catalogues within the Natural Environment Research Council are now required to conform to this standard, and the CEH Archive catalogue (currently in MySQL, using the Archivist's Toolkit front end) is no exception.
I'm going to need to map the individual fields in the Archivist's Toolkit to the metadata elements required by ISO 19115, so if anyone has already started doing this with ISAD(G), EAD, DACS, or any other relevant acronym it could save me some work. Also, as I'm a not yet qualified archivist, you'd be more likely to get it right than I would!
Thanks in anticipation.
Ian
