DBL-Browser

''DBL-Browser'' (''Digital Bibliographic Library Browser'') is a utility for browsing the DBLP website. The browser was written by Alexander Weber in 2005 at the University of Trier. It was designed for use off-line in reading the DBLP, which consisted of 696,000 bibliographic entries in 2005 (and in 2015 has more than 2.9 million). DBL-Browser is GPL
