EOSC Metadata Schema and Crosswalk Registry (MSCR)

Q4 2025
  • Implementation challenges
    • Metadata and ontologies
  • Result description

    The EOSC Metadata Schema and Crosswalk Registry (MSCR) provides the steps to translate data from different repositories with non-compatible metadata schemas to a single metadata schema to enable data analysis by allowing to deposit or describe metadata schemas in different repositories and defining the crosswalks between them.

    Problem addressed

    The EOSC Metadata Schema and Crosswalk Registry (MSCR) allows users and communities to create, register and version schemas and crosswalks using Persistent Identifiers (PIDs). The content published can be searched, browsed and downloaded without restrictions. It also provides an API to facilitate the transformation of data from one schema to another via registered crosswalks.

    The EOSC MSCR will thus enable projects and individual researchers to manage their metadata schema and/or relevant metadata schema crosswalks. Schema and crosswalks are shared with the community for reuse and extension, supported by a proper versioning mechanism. The MSCR will be integrated with all relevant EOSC-Core services: AAI, monitoring and helpdesk.
