It _would_ be great if SerSol would actually give you (if you were subscribed) a feed of their harvested and normalized metadata, so you could still pay them to collect and normalize it, but then use it for your own purposes outside of Summon. I hope SerSol will consider this down the line, if Summon is succesful.
I don't think it is part of SerSol's business model to offer a feed of the full metadata it aggregates, but it does seem to be part of the business model to offer an API upon which you could put your own interface to the underlying aggregated data.
