This workshop explores the principles and techniques of repurposing metadata. We will explore a number of use cases from migrating legacy metadata to reusing metadata in new projects and consortial systems. You'll learn the nuts and bolts of crosswalking through interactive discussion and hands-on activities. We will also discuss challenges and opportunities for metadata reuse as well as consider implications for the shared metadata landscape of consortiums.
