EXFOR as a comprehensive source of experimental reaction data

The Meeting was convened to assess needs and ways for improvement and development of the EXFOR formats to meet future requirements. Participants reported the difficulties of coding complex nuclear reaction and supplemental experimental information in the present EXFOR exchange format, shared their experiences from work with other databases and formats (ENDF/GND, NRDF, ROOT, XSAMS). The general consensus was achieved on the necessity to explore further extensions of the exchange format to facilitate the coding of experimental results, continue development of EXFOR/XML output for easier access and intercommunication with other databases, further development of editors and other software for compilers, establish integrated EXFOR documentation and knowledge database to aid compilers and general users.
