In conjunction with its own databases [EBSCO], electronic journals from more than 400 publishers, and several other leading data publishing partners, Discovery will pre-index the metadata on books, news resources, video, music, periodicals, and even historical archives. Metadata will include information resources, such as titles, authors, copyrights, content overviews, and other information usually found in a library catalog. But whereas one library system's catalog will provide metadata about that system's holdings, Discovery can offer metadata about resources throughout the publishing and multimedia worlds.
The company expects the service to be available later in 2009.
