Mackenzie, For crosswalking XML metadata, the go-to tool is XSLT, which can be used to transform one XML document into another. XSLT for repository metadata is a common scenario in libraries; the code4lib journal has a number of articles on the matter (https://journal.code4lib.org/?s=xslt). In particular, https://journal.code4lib.org/articles/1647 may be exactly what you're looking for re: ProQuest->Digital Commons crosswalking. For automating the entire process - any scripting language of choice (Python, Ruby, command-line scripts, et al) ought to be sufficient for taking the ProQuest ZIP, extracting the contents, running XSLT (or using an appropriate XML/XSLT library for the language), and generating a crosswalked XML file. The SAA Electronic Records Section has some excellent posts on processing metadata via scripting/the command line - https://saaers.wordpress.com/.
