Crosswalk Web Service Demo
5 August 2008
OCLC Crosswalk Web Service translates metadata records from one format to another. It is said to be able to process up to 500 records from all requests per user, per day. With the aid of the WSDL file, users can develop a client to access the service, which is available on the OCLC ResearchWorks website for an undecided duration.
The service was developed to handle the increasingly complicated interoperability needs of OCLC and the greater library community. It has been made available to the public to gather feedback on the API that developers use, the set of formats supported (specifically, what is missing from the set), as well as specific mappings, such as incorrect or missing mappings.
