The bibliographies contain about 290,000 references, most of which are references to journal articles, conference papers or technical reports. The collection has been formed by using various freely accessible services in the Internet (anonymous ftp, mailserver, wais, telnet) and converting each bibliography into a uniform BibTeX format. It is organized in files containing references to a (more or less) specific area within computer science. All files containing bibliographic data are compressed with gzip (extension ".gz"). The bibliographies are accessible via WWW: http://www.ira.uka.de/ftp/ira/bibliography/index.html Please read the introduction in that document. There you also find hints on how to search the bibliographies. via FTP: ftp.ira.uka.de[129.13.10.90]:pub/bibliography Please read the README file in that directory To retrieve files from the ftp server type (alternatives in parentheses): ftp ftp.ira.uka.de (ftp 129.13.10.90) ftp (anonymous) cd pub/bibliography get README ... quit The collection is mirrored at various sites around the world. The mirror sites are listed in the introduction to the collection (or in the README file for FTP access). Here are some statistics on the database: Table 1 : This table shows the number of references for each area within computer science and the number of those references which contain abstracts or keywords. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Number of | | Area of coverage | Entries | Abstracts | Kwrd Fields | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Theory/Foundations of CS | 65075 | 478 | 5144 | TRs/Others/Unclassifieds | 53151 | 2982 | 8070 | Computer Graphics | 37396 | 139 | 26965 | Artificial Intelligence | 28091 | 1447 | 4401 | Databases | 23856 | 1925 | 5312 | Distributed Systems | 20317 | 1853 | 1708 | Parallel Processing | 17352 | 575 | 1922 | Technical Reports | 13648 | 4029 | 1173 | Compiler | 10568 | 1063 | 1485 | Neural Networks | 8285 | 259 | 790 | Mathematics | 4452 | 8 | 181 | Object-Oriented | 3497 | 246 | 2074 | Typesetting | 3271 | 329 | 467 | Operating Systems | 3168 | 228 | 270 | BibNet bibliographies | 604 | 0 | 0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total | 292731 | 15561 | 59962 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table 2 : This table shows the type of references for each area within computer science. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Number of | | Area of coverage | Articles |Conf.
