Work continues with various groups within NIST concerned with electronic information dissemination and with a professional society. This server has been accessible to the public since June 20, 1994. The rate of use continues to increase rapidly. A wide range of information is provided on the PL WWW server. It ranges from staff and organization information to 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 Mosaic browsers. Atomic spectroscopic database developed for PL WWW server 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 server on another computer system. This is an atlas of molecular spectra and associated tables of wavenumbers for the calibration of infrared spectrometers.
