Digital Bibliography and Library Project - Definition and Overview

DBLP, a computer science bibliography site (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/), was originally a database and logic programming bibliography site, homed at Universität Trier, in Germany, and has existed at least since the 1980s. As of November 2004, DBLP listed 566,666 articles on the computer science field, mirrored at five sites across the Internet. Some of the journals which are tracked on this site include VLDB, a journal for Very Large Databases, and the ACM Transactions.

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.

Nowadays, it's suggested that DBLP (once called DataBase systems and Logic Programming) now stands for Digital Bibliography & Library Project.
