*The Scholarly Database team at Indiana University is pleased to 
announce the XMas release of SDB v0.7. *

The Scholarly Database (SDB) at Indiana University aims to serve 
researchers and practitioners interested in the analysis, modeling, and 
visualization of large-scale scholarly datasets.  The online interface 
at http://sdb.cns.iu.edu provides access to four datasets: MEDLINE 
papers, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office patents (USPTO), National 
Science Foundation (NSF) funding, and National Institutes of Health 
(NIH) funding -- over 25 million records in total. Users can register 
for free to cross-search these databases and to download result sets as 
dumps for scientometrics research and science policy practice.
