Mr.  DLib [1] is an acronym for machine-readable digital library. It comprises of the full-texts as well as bibliographic metadata in XML and JSON format for several millions of academic articles. In addition, Mr. DLib offers a recommendation engine suggesting related documents for given input articles. All data in Mr. DLib, including literature recommendations, can be accessed via a RESTful web service. The service is intended to:

• help academic service providers to enhance their own portfolio, e.g. by providing more precise literature recommendations;
• support researchers in need for (large amounts of) bibliographic data or scholarly full-texts, e.g. for performing impact or trend analysis;
• provide a base to other agents for building own services upon the data of Mr. DLib.

The Probability Abstract Service (PAS) is a project of Prof.  Jim Pitman (UC Berkeley) that uses the web service of Mr. DLib to acquire metadata from other sources, such as arxiv.org.
