Draft of updated Formats Manual (IAEA-NDS-207 Rev.2010/09)

A draft of updated EXFOR (Exchange) Formats Manual (IAEA-NDS-207
Rev.2010/09) is now available at the NRDC webpage:
http://www-nds.iaea.org/nrdc/nrdc_doc/iaea-nds-0207-201009-dra.pdf.
Comments from all other NRDC members are also highly appreciated. I will correct
the manuscript based on these feedbacks.
Major changes are based on memos, conclusions and actions, and they aresummarized in the table below. There are also a few additional corrections.
According to Action 1 of the NRDC 2010 meeting:“Correct titles of EXFOR Manuals to agree with the contents”, I propose to change the tile of the manual from “EXFOR Exchange Formats
Manual” to “EXFOR Formats Manual”. There is various output formats of theEXFOR database, and probably “Exchange” in the current title intends to stress thatthe manual deals with the “original” EXFOR format. If we need to indicate“Exchange”, we can keep the title as it is. The current title (EXFOR ExchangeFormats Manual) also agrees with its contents.
(I do not think we need to change the title of “LEXFOR – EXFOR Compiler’sManual”).
Again this is still a draft, and open for discussion until the end of September. On thebasis of your comments, I will revised the current draft, and release the final version
in September 2010.
