| The initiatives and projects in the field of historical Digital Map Libraries (DML) have greatly increased in the last few years. Most of them aim to provide access to old maps through geoportals that allow access to thousands of maps stored in the cartographic collections of different libraries and archives. The achieved progress is remarkable, since these geoportals are providing remote access capability to resources, through optimised searches, which until now were difficult to access. However, maps catalogued in libraries have been usually described according to generic bibliographic metadata schemata such as the MARC standards (MARC21, USMARC, IBERMARC¿) and they are not always comprehensible by traditional geoportals and Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) in conformance to geographic standards such as the ISO 19115 metadata profile. Undertaking the massive publication of historical cartography in the Internet via SDI entails securing a crosswalk between the MARC21 and the ISO 19115 format. The research challenge remains in developing metadata crosswalks based on semantic interoperability among several standards and different domains. Nowadays, most of the previous works only provides a table containing the relationships among the standards. This paper aims at describing a multi-institutional initiative leaded by the Higher Geographical Council of Spain to design and implement this crosswalk, by getting rid of the use of some successive chains between crosswalks since an excessive loss of information may occur along the different steps. Once viability ascertained, the project will move forward towards the creation of an institutional prototype of national virtual map library, a geoportal providing access to the historical map libraries, museums and archives. Namely, the resources (images and metadata) will come from the various map libraries of a Spanish-Portuguese Map Libraries Consortium which is made up of 40 map libraries from Spain and Portugal. | |
