You have put it rightly. I think we are looking at two different things

1) Meta-data searching for our "Educational Content Inventory"
2) Software tool to manage new courses that we may develop.

a later stage would not be very difficult, I think.

BTW, Moodle and (maybe other LMS too) has a module for
developing book-like format.
