Data Planet is deeply committed to helping drive usage and promoting discoverability of library resources.
Data Planet metadata records have been integrated into four discovery services:
We actively seek to partner with discovery service providers and metasearch vendors. Interested in partnering with us? Contact us at onlinesupport@sagepub.co.uk
Per NISO Open Discovery Initiative recommendations, Data Planet is pleased to provide the following Statement of Participation in Discovery Services:
SAGE, publisher of Data Planet Statistical Datasets, provides descriptive metadata to Discovery Service Providers (DSPs) via partner agreement. Beginning in June 2017, Data Planet has provided metadata records for ingesting into the central index of these products:
Content coverage:
Data Planet aggregates statistical datasets and the “full-text” of the datasets, ie, the underlying data points, is available to Data Planet subscribing institutions. Statistical data points, however, are not suitable for indexing in the DSPs. Rather, Data Planet provides over 60,000 metadata records resolving to high-level entry points of the 5.2 billion+ datasets available in the Data Planet application to the DSPs.
Metadata elements provided to DSPs:
