Excellent! Mark, we should look at importing some or all of DBLP for BibServer display.
I'm particularly interested in the more mathematical/statistical parts.
We could also look at extracting records related to our technical interests like automated record clustering/deduplication.
Karen and Adrian and I agreed at last openbiblio call that we should try to collect and publish knowledge and experience
related to record clustering/deduplication in a wiki or similar setup. Having a list of technical articles
on the topic would be a good start, and that might be extractable from DBLP.
There is a lot of experience in this domain which is not easily accessible.
Suggestions how to collect and organize that experience for the benefit of openbiblio efforts would be much appreciated.
