CodeMeta Crosswalks provide an explicit map between the fields of existing metadata standards, as used by a broad range of software repositories, registries, and archives. When mapped by a Crosswalk, CodeMeta’s terms act as a common set of properties, providing a pathway for metadata to be translated between standards.
Crosswalks are not required to have a one-to-one mapping for every field. Because Crosswalks only map fields common between a standard and CodeMeta, the subset of common fields may differ a lot between Crosswalks. The diagram below demonstrates how CodeMeta maps between standards when there are differences.
