The Business Data Catalog functionality in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 enables you to present line-of-business data within MOSS. The people in your organization can use the Business Data Catalog (BDC) features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to find, view, and analyze the data that is stored in specialized business programs that are sometimes called line-of-business applications.

As part of enterprise search in Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can search for data that is stored in external business applications directly from a SharePoint site. After enabling the business data Search feature in Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can create new search result types based on specific data entities that are registered in the BDC.
