Access to the scientific and scholarly literature has changed radically in recent decades. Increasingly researchers and scholars make their publications freely available on the Web. Taking advantage of this opportunity, new scientific search engine tools have been developed such as Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and CiteSeer, now CiteSeerX. CiteSeerX has become one of the most comprehensive and widely-used online public resources for the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) research community. Millions of CiteSeerX Portable Document Format (PDF) documents are indexed by Google. CiteSeerX is unique among digital library search engines. It is open access, most all of its documents are harvested from the public Web, and users have full-text access to all documents searchable on its website. Moreover, it provides all automatically extracted metadata and citation context via an Open Archive Initiative (OAI) metadata service interface and bulk downloads on a public cloud - all under a Creative Commons license. This service is usually not available from other scholarly search engines. CiteSeerX performs automatic extraction and indexing of tables (in production), figures (developed)}, and algorithms (developed), capabilities rarely seen in other scholarly search engines. CiteSeerX provides its open source software and architecture on GitHub. At this time none of the other above-mentioned systems release their digital library software. Utilizing the established CiteSeerX infrastructure, this proposal aims to create a sustainable CiteSeerX system with new data resources and a much larger data collection. We will develop a new system that runs with low operation overhead, without a single point of failure, and that provides quality and enriched data and metadata in portable formats that will be available through accessible user interfaces. We will ingest all freely accessible scientific documents on the Web, currently estimated to be 30 million. CiteSeerX will make available high-quality metadata through an accessible Web User Interface, Application Programming Interface, and data dumps. SeerSuite, the platform on which CiteSeerX is built, will be refactored so as to be an easily deployable and configurable scholarly digital library framework. It will be built on commercial grade open source software. In addition, we will provide searchable semantic metadata, such as key phrases and disambiguated author names, and non-textual content such as data from figures, tables, algorithms, and equations. For long-term sustainability we will explore different monetization models. The result will be a refactored digital library search engine that provides stable, usable, and reliable data services on multiple types of scientific documents built on a portable, maintainable, and self-contained framework that can be deployed for other research document digital collections. Source code will be hosted at https://github.com/SeerLabs. System development and related research will be published in relevant venues and be made publicly available.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

近几十年来，获得科学和学术文献的访问发生了根本性的变化。越来越多的研究人员和学者可以在网络上自由使用。利用这一机会，已经开发了新的科学搜索引擎工具，例如Google Scholar，Smantic Sc​​holar和Citeseer，现在是Citeseerx。 Citeseerx已成为计算机和信息科学与工程（CISE）研究社区最全面，最广泛使用的在线公共资源之一。数以百万计的Citeseerx便携式文档格式（PDF）文档由Google索引。 Citeseerx在数字图书馆搜索引擎中是独一无二的。它是开放访问权限，其大多数文档都是从公共网络收集的，用户可以全文访问其网站上可搜索的所有文档。此外，它通过开放的档案计划（OAI）元数据服务界面（OAI）在公共云上提供了所有自动提取的元数据和引用上下文 - 所有这些都在公共云上 - 都在创意共享许可下。 该服务通常无法从其他学术搜索引擎中获得。 Citeseerx执行表（生产），数字（开发）}和算法（已开发）的表自动提取和索引，在其他学术搜索引擎中很少见。 Citeseerx在Github上提供了其开源软件和架构。此时，其他上述系统都没有发布其数字图书馆软件。该提案利用已建立的Citeseerx基础架构，旨在创建一个具有新的数据资源和更大数据收集的可持续Citeseerx系统。 我们将开发一个新的系统，该系统以低操作开销，没有单个故障点运行，并以便携式格式提供质量和丰富的数据和元数据，这些格式将通过可访问的用户界面可用。我们将在网络上摄入所有可自由访问的科学文档，目前估计为3000万。 Citeseerx将通过可访问的Web用户界面，应用程序编程界面和数据转储提供高质量元数据。 SeerSuite是Citeseerx构建的平台，将被重构，以便易于部署和可配置的学术数字图书馆框架。它将建立在商业级开源软件上。 此外，我们还将提供可搜索的语义元数据，例如关键短语和歧义的作者名称，以及非文本内容，例如来自图形，表格，表，算法和方程式的数据。对于长期可持续性，我们将探索不同的货币化模型。结果将是一个重构的数字图书馆搜索引擎，该引擎可在多种类型的科学文档上提供稳定，可用且可靠的数据服务，以便携式，可维护和独立的框架构建，这些框架可用于其他研究文档数字收藏。源代码将在https://github.com/seerlabs托管。系统开发和相关研究将在相关场所发表，并公开可用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
