Lee, I found this an absolutely wonderful piece of news! Just to make sure, does this mean that CiteSeer will serve OAI-compliant metadata for all the papers it has harvested on the net? Plus for the ones it found through referencing or other means (but without full text)? And that it will be a registered data provider at OAI?
This would be something fantastic for Computer Science. Congratulations! By the way, one thing I would love to see in CiteSeer are some graphics and statistics which would inform about the evolution of the data base, something like the page http://arxiv.org/show_monthly_submissions Harnad has pointed out. Is there something similar for CiteSeer? I also would love to know how many papers in CiteSeer have their full text available. I looked at the statistics page http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/statistics.html but did not find these data. Do they exist somewhere?
