Digital Bibliography & Library Project

DBLP (Digital Bibliography & Library Project) is a computer science bibliography website hosted at Universität Trier, in Germany. It was originally a database and logic programming bibliography site, and has existed at least since the 1980s. DBLP listed more than 1.3 million articles on computer science in January 2010. Journals tracked on this site include VLDB, a journal for very large databases, the IEEE Transactions and the ACM Transactions. Conference proceedings papers are also tracked. It is mirrored at five sites across the Internet.^[1][2][3][4]

For his work on maintaining DBLP, Michael Ley received an award from the Association for Computing Machinery and the VLDB Endowment Special Recognition Award in 1997.

DBLP originally stood for DataBase systems and Logic Programming. As a backronym, it is now taken to stand for Digital Bibliography & Library Project.^[1]

DBL-Browser (Digital Bibliographic Library Browser) is a utility for browsing the DBLP website. The browser was written by Alexander Weber in 2005 at Universität Trier. It is designed for use off-line in reading the DBLP, which consists of 910,000 bibliographic entries, as of July 2007.

DBL-Browser is GPL software, available for download from SourceForge. It uses the XML DTD. Written in Java programming language, this code shows the bibliographic entry in several types of screens, ranging from graphics to text:

• Author page
• Article page
• Table of contents
• Related conferences / journals
• Related authors (graphic representation of relationships)
• Trend analysis (graphics histogram)

DBLP is similar to the bibliographic portion of the physics arxiv.org which also links to articles. DBL-Browser provides a means to view some of the associated computer science articles.

• CompleteSearch DBLP provides a fast search-as-you-type interface to DBLP, as well as faceted search. It is maintained by Holger Bast and synchronized daily with the DBLP database. Since December 2007, the search functionality is embedded into each DBLP author page (via Javascript).
• FacetedDBLP provides a faceted search interface to DBLP, synchronized once per week with the DBLP database. In addition to common facets such as year, author, or venues, it contains a topic-based facet summarizing and characterizing the current result set based on the author keywords for individual publications. For the DBLP data, FacetedDBLP also provides an RDF dump (using D2R server technology) as well as an SQL dump based on the underlying mysql database.
