DCL Discovery Bridge Helps Publishers Make Content More Discoverable
DCL and ASTM International joined forces to make published content more discoverable for professional societies and associations. They created DCL Discovery Bridge, “a hosted subscription-based service that allows publishers to offload the burden [of discovery services’ varied content and metadata requirements] while guaranteeing consistent and timely delivery of publishers’ content to each and every discovery vendor they work with,” according to the press release.The solution uses a hub-and-spoke model. Some spokes are content from publishers and some are delivery channels to discovery vendors. The hub is a set of DCL-hosted services that pick up clients’ content (such as journal articles and conference proceedings) and “normalize the incoming metadata into a master metadata structure, creating discovery vendor-specific feeds of content objects and metadata in the format and structure each vendor can most easily integrate into their platform. The feeds are automatically delivered to each vendor for ingestion into their platforms.” For more information, read the press release.
