Thanks, Phil! 

I actually gave 3 talks on the (hot!) topic of Flexible metadata schemes, it was in the CLARIN conference, CLARIAH Working group on Interoperability and separate presentation for CLARIAH steering board. We have implemented a prototype of the SEMAF, Flexible Semantic Mapping Framework, and it does work with Dataverse without XSLT or other traditional mappings. More info here: https://zenodo.org/record/4651421

If you're interested to know more, we're going to provide more details during the upcoming ISKO UK event https://www.iskouk.org/event-4527328
