dblp dump releases now have a DOI

2024-12-02 / Marcel R. Ackermann

Since this December’s release, hosting the monthly dblp dump snapshots (in both XML and RDF/N-Triples format) has moved to the Dagstuhl Research Online Publication Server (DROPS). This step brings many advantages over the old Apache Directory Listings solution that dblp has been using since the mid-1990s: The DROPS digital library provides a clean and well-structured user interface, metadata and BibTeX records for all datasets are readily available, and required auxiliary files (like the matching DTD files for the XML releases) are always just one click away. However, the probably most important improvement is that each dblp data release is now (finally!) properly registered for and labeled with a DOI.
