What institution is behind dblp?

In 1993, dblp was founded at the computer science department of the University of Trier, and up until end of 2010, it was provided by the university alone. From 2010 to 2018, dblp has been a joint service of the University of Trier and Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz Center for Informatics. Since November 2018, dblp is operated and maintained solely by Schloss Dagstuhl, although there is still a close cooperation with the University of Trier.
