DBLP is a computer science bibliography website. Starting in 1993 at Universität Trier in Germany, it grew from a small collection of HTML files{{cite conference|last1=Ley |first1=Michael |author-link1=Michael Ley |title=DBLP: Some Lessons Learned |url=https://dblp.org/xml/docu/dblpxml.pdf |event=VLDB |work=Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment |volume=2 |issue=2 |date=2009 |pages=1493–1500 |citeseerx=10.1.1.151.3018 |issn=2150-8097 |doi=10.14778/1687553.1687577 |access-date=2018-03-13}} and became an organization hosting a database and logic programming bibliography site. Since November 2018, DBLP is a branch of Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (LZI).{{cite web |url=https://www.dagstuhl.de/no_cache/en/about-dagstuhl/press/pressemitteilungen/detail/meldung/708/ |title=Bibliographic database "dblp" celebrates silver anniversary |website=dagstuhl.de |access-date=2019-12-09 |archive-date=December 9, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191209153504/https://www.dagstuhl.de/no_cache/en/about-dagstuhl/press/pressemitteilungen/detail/meldung/708/ |url-status=dead }} DBLP listed more than 5.4 million journal articles, conference papers, and other publications on computer science in December 2020, up from about 14,000 in 1995 and 3.66 million in July 2016.{{cite web |url=https://dblp.org/statistics/recordsindblp |title=Records in DBLP |department=Statistics |website=DBLP |access-date=2019-12-01}} All important journals on computer science are tracked. Proceedings papers of many conferences are also tracked. It is mirrored at three sites across the Internet.{{cite web |title=Computer science bibliography |url=https://dblp.org/ |website=DBLP |access-date=2018-03-13}}{{cite journal

For his work on maintaining DBLP, Michael Ley received an award from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the VLDB Endowment Special Recognition Award in 1997. Furthermore, he was awarded the ACM Distinguished Service Award for "creating, developing, and curating DBLP" in 2019.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Michael Ley: ACM Distinguished Service Award|url=https://awards.acm.org/award_winners/ley_2903227|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200606144735/https://awards.acm.org/award_winners/ley_2903227 |archive-date=June 6, 2020 |access-date=|website=ACM (Association for Computing Machinery)}}{{Cite web|last=Wadern|first=Schloss Dagstuhl-Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik GmbH, 66687|title=Schloss Dagstuhl : Dr. Michael Ley to receive the ACM Distinguished Service Award|url=https://www.dagstuhl.de/no_cache/en/about-dagstuhl/news/detail/meldung/763/|access-date=2021-01-23|website=www.dagstuhl.de|language=en}}

DBLP originally stood for DataBase systems and Logic Programming. As a backronym, it has been taken to stand for Digital Bibliography & Library Project;{{cite conference |last1=Ley |first1=Michael |author-link1=Michael Ley |last2=Reuther |first2=Patrick |date=2006 |url=https://dblp.org/papers/EGC06_ML_PR.pdf |title=Maintaining an Online Bibliographical Database: The Problem of Data Quality |book-title=Extraction et Gestion des Connaissances 2006 |conference=EGC 2006 |series=Revue des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information |volume=RNTI-E-6 |pages=5–10 |citeseerx=10.1.1.67.6180 |isbn=2-85428-718-5 |s2cid=60831687 |access-date=2020-11-04}} however, it is now preferred that the acronym be simply a name, hence the new title "The DBLP Computer Science Bibliography".{{cite web |title=What is the meaning of the acronym dblp? |url=https://dblp.org/faq/What+is+the+meaning+of+the+acronym+dblp |department=FAQ |website=DBLP |access-date=2018-03-13}}
