crosswalk: A new command for fast and flexible bulk recoding

In this talk I will present the new -crosswalk- command, a data management utility for fast table-based recoding. The command comes with predefined crosswalk tables for common recoding tasks related to occupational classifications, e.g. to translate ISCO codes (International Standard Classification of Occupations) into ISEI scores (International Socio-economic Index of Occupational Status), OEP scores (Occupational Earning Potential), or ESeC classes (European Socio-economic Classification). However, it is also easy to define, manipulate, and apply custom recoding tables. In the talk I will briefly explain how -crosswalk- is implemented, present its syntax, and then illustrate its use with some applied examples.
