Subject: Errors in EXFOR
Starting the full volume using of our relational EXFOR database upon ourWeb-site we have found out many errors of two types:• format errors (shifts, missing or extra commas etc.);• reaction description errors (CODEs absent in Dictionary 36).
We compared contents of ENTRYs with these errors from our Web-sitewith correspondent ENTRYs put upon two other Web-sites (NNDC and NDS) andfound out that situation is very intricate! Some of these ENTRYs:• contain the same errors (for example, А0126001, А0055001,А138902-03);• contain the errors on one site, but are corrected on another one (forexample, А0014002-008, А0060002);• are different from that on our site but again contain the errors (forexample, В0098003,008).
Because we received our Web-site data from F.Chukreev maybe thedisagreements under discussion mean that NNDC and NDS Web-sites contain oldversion data?
We compare also the errors found out by us with appropriate errors havebeen found out by Victor Zerkin before the passed year technical meeting andfound out many duplications but many additions also.
So we have many ENTRYs in Internet (here I mean only the ENTRYs
with errors, but this could be in case of ENTRYs without errors also) which exist in
two-three versions. Some of them differ quite strongly (for example, our ENTRY
A0014 we received from F.Chukreev contains 7 SUBENTRIES, but the same
number ENTRY on NNDC site contains one SUBENTRY only).
Therefore after the discussion with F.Chukrev I propose to include to theAgenda of upcoming meeting discussion of this problem, first of all the following
questions:• Is it good that we have several versions of the ENTRYs with the same
number in Internet? If “not”, how could we improve the situation?
• Must we check all old Entries by today checking codes?
• Must we correct the most obvious (format) errors as soon as possible?
• Must we do this job in coordination? By what procedure?

••Must we additionally discuss the way to correct not obvious reaction
description errors?
What about modification of Dictionary 36?

All items have been discussed with F.Chukreev.
Two errors lists are applied.
