CiteSeer-API is SOAP/WSDL based and allows for easy programatical access to all the specific functionalities offered by CiteSeer services, including full text search of documents and citations and citation-based document discovery. CiteSeer-API is currently showcased on SMEALSearch [10], a digital library search engine for business academic publications. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.3.3 [Information Search and Retrieval]: retrieval models. H.3.7 [Digital Libraries]: dissemination, standards, system issues.
