<h2>Use and Publication of this Database:</h2>
<p> Assembly and maintenance of this database represents a large amount of
work by a large group of dedicated individuals. Users should therefore
realize that in order to continue benefiting from such a tool and obtain
further upgrades to this database, it is important not to take such an effort
for granted but to properly acknowledge it in any publication that may use
this data. <i> Anyone may make analyses, presentations and publications based
on the public version of the Profile Database, provided that they cite the
following paper(s) describing the public version of the database.</i></p>

profile database. </li>

<p> For publications using a smaller number of individual discharges from
this database use the reference given in the comment file (*_com.dat) of the
discharges or use the above general reference when none is available there.</p>
<h2>Disclaimer:</h2>
<p>Even though the contributing laboratories and the committee overseeing this
database have done their best to ensure that each discharge is as complete
and accurate as possible, some errors, omissions or inaccuracies are
inevitable. Any data in this database is therefore provided 'as is' and
believed to be correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of its
release. Each release is frozen in time: corrections to it will only appear
in subsequent releases. The frequency of subsequent releases will depend on
the availability of new discharges and on the number of corrections. Only
when a discharge is found to be particularly inaccurate will it be removed
from the current release.</p>
