Data Planet and Discovery Services: Discovery Services Partners

Documents Data Planet participation in the discovery services, and offers ways to promote discoverability.

Data Planet Discovery Services Partners

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:

  • ProQuest Summon (as of September 2017)
  • EBSCO Discovery Service (as of January 2018)
  • OCLC WorldCat Discovery (as of August 2018)
  • ProQuest Primo (as of May 2019)

 

We actively seek to partner with discovery service providers and metasearch vendors. Interested in partnering with us? Contact us at onlinesupport@sagepub.co.uk

STATEMENT OF PARTICIPATION IN THE DISCOVERY SERVICES

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:

  • ProQuest Summon
  • ProQuest Primo
  • EBSCO Discovery Service
  • OCLC WorldCat Discovery

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:
