In addition, the databases disseminated by PL on its WWW page will serve as models of effective dissemination of scientific and engineering data. Work continues with various groups within NIST concerned with electronic information dissemination and with a professional society. The Physics Laboratory Information on the World Wide Web. The rate of use continues to increase rapidly. It includes staff and organization information, PL technical activities, publication lists, research facilities, physical reference data, and bibliographic information about physical reference data.
New information is added regularly.
We develop programs to provide this information and innovations to overcome the limitations of current browsers. Atomic spectroscopic database developed for PL WWW page and for NASA's Astrophysics Data System. This interactive database has energy level data for over 500 spectra, transition probabilities for Sc through Ni, and wavelength data for spectra of several elements. It involves obtaining requested data from a repository computer and delivering it to the user through a WWW page on another computer system. This is an atlas of molecular spectra and associated tables of wavenumbers for the calibration of infrared spectrometers.
