Lesli:

There's a DC to EAD crosswalk at: 
http://www.getty.edu/research/institute/standards/intrometadata/3_crosswalks/index.html 
which should help.  If you do a crosswalk in the opposite direction and 
want to share it, I'd be happy to put it up with the rest of the crosswalks 
I maintain at: http://128.253.121.110/NSDLMetaWG/IntroPage.html
