SUBJECT:

Dictionary 17 (Related Reference Codes) – New code “O”

In some articles authors include new experimental data together with data already published andcompiled before. There are no strict rules in EXFOR for coding related references already compiled inother entries. At present, heterogeneous coding options are used by compilers:
1. STATUS. The DEP and COREL codes from the STATUS keyword are used to link dependent (DEP)
and interdependent (COREL) data compiled in different entries or subentries. Additional information
should be added in free text for clarification.
Example based on subentry 22789005:
STATUS(COREL,22979002) F.Gunsing+,C,2006VANCOU,,(B072),2006.
Energy range 12 - 1800 eV

2. ADD-RES (example based on entry 30763)
ADD-RES

Compiler's comment:
Isomeric ratios produced by Bremsstrahlung in the same
samples and published in the same paper are compiledin EXFOR G0004

The main drawback of the use of the above two keywords (STATUS and ADD-RES) is that they do notallow computer coding of the article’s reference. Addition of bibliographic information in free text is
possible but, by definition of the free text format, this information cannot be standardised.
3. REFERENCE. This keyword allows coding of bibliographic information directly relevant to thecompiled data (see CP-D/686 for the last update). Additional information should be added in free text forclarification.
Example based on entry O1456:
REFERENCE(J,NP/A,779,21,2006)(J,PR/C,61,034609,2000) It is O1000
The experimental data of the O-18+C-12 elastic
scattering and their optical model analysis(J,PR/C,60,064608,1999) It is O0999
See above but for O-16+O-16

The REFERENCE keyword does not allow computer coding of entry numbers. Addition of thesenumbers in free text is possible but, by definition of the free text format, this information cannot bestandardised.

4. REL-REF with code “N”, which means that no other codes apply (explanation in free text ismandatory) or using a new code “O” (present proposal):O(Reference to related data compiled in another entry)

30000017-

As already emphasised in memo CP-D/686, addition of free text information is essential for clarificationand contents of the reference should be indicated in free text as shown in the example below.
Example based on entry O1456:
REFERENCE
REL-REF(J,NP/A,779,21,2006)(O,O1000001,M.P.Nicoli+,J,PR/C,61,034609,2000) The exp.
data of the O-18+C-12 elastic scattering are givenin the EXFOR Entry O1000(O,O0999001,M.P.Nicoli+,J,PR/C,60,064608,1999) The exp.
data of the O-16+O-16 elastic scattering are givenin the EXFOR Entry O0999

The use of REL-REF with this new code “O” would allow the compiler to code in a (computerretrievable) standardised way both the article’s reference and the entry number in order to provide
complete information to compilers and users. A longer-term objective of this proposal is also tocontribute to the homogenisation of related-reference coding in EXFOR.
