The dblp data set (found at dblp.dagstuhl.de/xml/) is studied or used as a benchmark in many scientific publications. However, due to the daily updates to dblp, it can be sometimes difficult to reproduce experimental results made on earlier versions. To remedy this problem, starting from today, dblp will provide and archive stable monthly snapshot releases of the dblp data set. We encourage you to use these snapshot releases for your experiments and to cite their persistent URLs in published articles to. You can find the archived dblp data snapshots at dblp.dagstuhl.de/xml/release/.
