[edit] Basic Description
This extension allows users to batch import papers from DBLP, a Computer Science paper bibliography. Users can import papers by author names. Fetched data is in raw bibtex format, which can be further consumed by other bibtex extensions, e.g., Extension:Bibtex.
[edit] Download and installation

- Unzip the package to YOUR_MW_PATH/extensions/DBLP
- Add to LocalSetting.php
require_once( "$IP/extensions/DBLP/dblpweb.php" );

The extension has been tested on both Windows and Linux servers.
[edit] Usage
From Commandline
php dblpcmd.php FIRSTNAME LASTNAME [MIDDLENAMEINITIAL]
From Web
http://your wiki url/index.php?action=dblp&first=FIRSTNAME&mid=[MIDDLENAMEINITIAL]&last=LASTNAME
Using template may make web usage easier, e.g., [1]. If used with the Semantic Mediawiki extension, it may be further automated using semantic queries for a person's first name, last name and middle name initial (see examples [2] [3])
