Difference between CRM Discovery Service and CRM Metadata service?

CRM service - when we need ORG related information like ORG name, Properties, CRM service path for this ORG -- then we use CRM discovery service.

I only show that to illustrate a point: what this will do is prevent the relationship from be...
