Most of the scripts in this directory are invoked by make. Others are used to assist manual curation of the databases.

• regenerate-data.py

  Updates the file generated-data.csv (containing authors, pub counts, and areas) by processing DBLP and faculty-affiliations.csv. Invoked by the top-level Makefile (plain old make).

• make-web-pages.py

• clean-web-pages.py

  These scripts search for likely home pages and add them to homepages.csv, and then "clean" the updated homepages.csv database (sorting it into a new file). The top-level make home-pages invokes both of these and replaces the old file with the new one.

• fix-dblp.sh

  Cleans up DBLP for later processing. This step needs to be done for each update of the local DBLP database, and is invoked by make update-dblp.

• dblp-lookup.sh

  This script is used to find the likely DBLP canonical name for many authors at a time. It takes an input file of names (one per line) and for each line, outputs the best matches found in the on-line DBLP database.

• generate-aliases.py

  Mines the DBLP file for author aliases. The generated file is currently manually sorted and combined with the existing dblp-aliases.csv file, which also contains manually-added aliases not present in DBLP.
