Cyberinfrastructure or e-science has become crucial for scientific progress and open source systems have greatly facilitated design and implementation. However, there exists no open source integrated system for building an integrated search engine and digital library that focuses on all phases of information and knowledge extraction, such as citation extraction, automated indexing and ranking, chemical formulae search, table indexing, etc. We propose the open source SeerSuite architecture that is built on projects such as Lucene/Solr and discuss its uses in building cyberinfrastructure for the sciences and academia. We highlight the application domains with examples from computer science, CiteSeerX, and chemistry, ChemXSeer.
