A parser to parse the DBLP dataset Please change the settings (i.g., dbUrl, user, password) in db/DBConnection.java accordingly.

4. Run the parser a. If you are using IDE, e.g., Eclipse. You need to add mysql-connector-java-6.0-bin.jar to the build path. See this post if you need any help. http://www.wikihow.com/Add-JARs-to-Project-Build-Paths-in-Eclipse-(Java)

And then run Parser.java with proper program argument (the path of dblp.xml) and VM arguments (-Xmx1G -DentityExpansionLimit=2500000). You may see this post on how to specify arguments in Eclipse. http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/eclipseCommLineArgs.html

b. If you are using command line Similarly, you need to add mysql-connector-java-6.0-bin.jar in the classpath, and set the arguments. The command will be something like: java -cp mysql-connector-java-6.0-bin.jar -Xmx1G -DentityExpansionLimit=2500000 Parser [path_of_dblp.xml]

The program will run for a while. For example, it takes 974 seconds to parse dblp-2014.xml using my desktop.

1. Out Of Memory Error If the default memory for JVM is too small, please increase the allocation by specifying JVM argument -Xmx[memory size] (e.g., -Xmx1G).

2. Too small entity limit The parser has encountered more than "64,000" entity expansions in this document; this is the limit imposed by the application Please specify another JVM argument -DentityExpansionLimit=2500000 #more The example.xml is part of dblp dataset,you can use it to test the program.
