Summary: Many communities provide Web resource directories to help users find useful resources in the community. A typical example is a resource directory in a homepage of a local government. Crosswalk of the directories of neighboring communities is a crucial function for users to collect useful resources from the communities. However, an appropriate scheme bridging the community directories is required. This paper proposes a few mapping schemes to connect community directories and compares them by applying them to the resource directories of three local governments -- Tokyo and Hokkaido in Japan and Chungcheongnam-do in Korea. The mapping schemes use National Diet Library Subject Heading (NDLSH) and/or Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC) as a switching language. Evaluation of the proposed schemes shows their advantages and limitations.
