metadata and XML services for libraries

I offer metadata services to libraries and digital repositories. I have extensive knowledge of a variety metadata standards in addition to library standards of cataloging and classification and the MARC21 format.

I use the Extensible Styleheet Language (XSLT 2.0) to crosswalk metadata formats, merge content from other XML files and transform content from other formats into XML.

I use MarcEdit for global editing of MARC records and am proficient with regular expressions.
