 nsdl/lib/stylesheets/*.xsl  .  you look at the nsdl/prototypes/metadata_convert.pl script
   (perldoc ./metadata_convert.pl).  Among other things, this
   provides a list regarding the crosswalk possibilities of
   LON-CAPA to&from IEEE-LOM and LON-CAPA to&from Dublin Core.
   
   Currenty, the four stylesheets for carrying out the metadata conversion are:
   * nsdl/lib/stylesheets/dcnsdl_to_loncapa.xsl
