Intro: The OpenCalais Web Service automatically creates rich semantic metadata for the content you submit – in well under a second. Using natural language processing (NLP), machine learning and other methods, Calais analyzes your document and finds the entities within it. But, Calais goes well beyond classic entity identification and returns the facts and events hidden within your text as well.

Steps for downloading the full dataset from CiteSeerX:

1. Download and extract the "Demo" from http://www.oclc.org/research/software/oai/harvester.htm
2. Go to the directory of the extracted files, type the following command to download the full dataset of CiteSeerX to the file "citeseerx_alldata.xml"
   java -classpath .;oaiharvester.jar;xerces.jar org.acme.oai.OAIReaderRawDump http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/oai2 -o citeseerx_alldata.xml

Thanks the author for that.
