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，科学和学术文献的获取发生了根本性的变化。越来越多的研究人员和学者在网络上免费提供他们的出版物。利用这个机会，新的科学搜索引擎工具被开发出来，例如 Google Scholar、Semantic Sc​​holar 和 CiteSeer（现在的 CiteSeerX）。 CiteSeerX 已成为计算机与信息科学与工程 (CISE) 研究界最全面、使用最广泛的在线公共资源之一。 Google 为数百万个 CiteSeerX 便携式文档格式 (PDF) 文档编制了索引。 CiteSeerX 在数字图书馆搜索引擎中是独一无二的。它是开放获取的，其大部分文档都是从公共网络获取的，用户可以全文访问其网站上可搜索的所有文档。此外，它还通过开放档案计划 (OAI) 元数据服务接口提供所有自动提取的元数据和引文上下文，并在公共云上批量下载 - 所有这些都在知识共享许可下。 其他学术搜索引擎通常无法提供此服务。 CiteSeerX 执行表格（生产中）、图表（已开发）}和算法（已开发）的自动提取和索引，这些功能在其他学术搜索引擎中很少见。 CiteSeerX 在 GitHub 上提供其开源软件和架构。目前上述其他系统都没有发布其数字图书馆软件。该提案旨在利用已建立的 CiteSeerX 基础设施，创建一个具有新数据资源和更大数据收集的可持续 CiteSeerX 系统。 我们将开发一个新系统，该系统运行成本低，无单点故障，并以可移植格式提供优质且丰富的数据和元数据，这些数据和元数据可通过可访问的用户界面获得。我们将收录网络上所有可免费访问的科学文献，目前估计有 3000 万份。 CiteSeerX 将通过可访问的 Web 用户界面、应用程序编程接口和数据转储提供高质量的元数据。 CiteSeerX 构建的平台 SeerSuite 将被重构，成为一个易于部署和配置的学术数字图书馆框架。它将基于商业级开源软件构建。 此外，我们将提供可搜索的语义元数据，例如关键短语和消除歧义的作者姓名，以及非文本内容，例如来自图形、表格、算法和方程的数据。为了长期可持续发展，我们将探索不同的货币化模式。其结果将是一个重构的数字图书馆搜索引擎，它为多种类型的科学文献提供稳定、可用和可靠的数据服务，该服务建立在可移植、可维护和独立的框架上，可部署用于其他研究文献数字馆藏。源代码将托管在 https://github.com/SeerLabs。系统开发和相关研究将在相关场所发表并公开。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
