Catazora

1. Overview

Catazora is the catalog record. It answers a plain question before a title is offered: what is this, in which languages, on which screens, in which countries, and what is known about the right to offer it. The answer is a content passport. It is a working record. It is not a court, and it is not a certificate that a title is clear.

The content pages of this site already show games, applications, music, video, books, wallpapers, and themes. Catazora is the layer that says, for a title you are about to discuss, what may travel with it. If a field is unknown, the passport says unknown. Unknown is not turned into a yes.

We do not publish a count of millions on this page. The older catalog lines elsewhere on the site are the lines the site already carried. A passport in a pilot is about the titles in that pilot, not about a pretended new census.

2. What a passport carries

• The name of the work, and the name of the owner if you have given it.
• Languages that exist, and languages that are only planned.
• Screens: phone, tablet, Android TV, smart TV, set-top box, and the older handset platforms still listed on this site.
• Countries or regions you are asking about. A blank country is not an open country.
• Separate lines for ownership, distribution, localization, adaptation, and voice. Each can be yes, no, or unknown.
• A link to the version Revizora would produce, so a translation is not mistaken for a new work with new rights.
• A request you can send us: the title, the country, the screen, and the question. The request is a conversation. It is not an order that has already cleared.

How it is used with the other services

Playtize does not skin a mark the passport marks as unknown. Bundliza does not put a title in a bundle when the distribution line is unknown. Storymize does not adapt a story when the adaptation line is unknown. That is the use of the record.

3. Questions we are asked

Is this a legal opinion?

No. It is the list of what we have been shown and what we have not. A lawyer, the owner, or the operator decides. We keep the fields from being quietly filled in.

Can you compare titles?

In a pilot, yes: up to three titles side by side, on language, screen, and the rights lines. The comparison is only as good as the fields you filled.

What if two files are the same work?

They are linked. A localized version points at its original. We do not count them as two unrelated catalogs.

Who is it for?

An operator buying content, an owner seeking distribution, and our own catalog desk. The commercial price stays off the public page. Marketing text and the rights lines are not the same sentence.

4. A pilot

A short list of titles you already know, written as passports. One country. The screens you care about. Every empty right left as unknown. A page you can read without a login, because this site does not pretend to be a private dashboard.

To discuss a pilot, email [email protected] and put Catazora in the subject, or the contact page.
