 Once you have an RSS/Atom or OAI-PMH feed delimited to the educational resources on your site, you can get it included into DiscoverEd by emailing info@creativecommons.org with the feed URL and "DiscoverED" somewhere in the e-mail subject.
 It's also recommended that you add your organization and feed into [[ODEPO]] so that the feed is publicly discoverable. [[ODEPO]] (Open Database of Educational Projects and Organizations) is a Semantic MediaWiki database on the CC Wiki. It's an open, collaborative collection of pages, each of which provides information about an educational site or projects that is accessible on the Internet. By adding your site to [[ODEPO]] you increase its visibility and at the same time enable search and discovery of your resources or resource pages by filling in the Resource Feed URL property box. In this field, you would put the URL to your feed of resources so that Creative Commons, or any other project, can see the list of feeds in the database and add them to a search index.
