> **PROTOTYPE:** a suggestion, not an official CIAAW or IUPAC page. Official values are at [ciaaw.org](https://ciaaw.org).

# About this prototype

## What this is

This is a prototype and a suggestion. It was made by people who use CIAAW data and would like it to
be easier to reuse in software. Pages are styled after [ciaaw.org](https://ciaaw.org) to show how the
idea could fit into the existing website.

## What this is not

- It is not an official CIAAW or IUPAC site, and neither body has endorsed it.
- It is not a source of reference values. The numbers come from a converter that is still being tested.
- The model is not final. The IRIs are placeholders until a persistent home is agreed.

## Working with CIAAW

The aim is to work with the Commission, not around it. Decisions about the content, the identifiers
and any eventual publication belong to CIAAW. If you are involved with the Commission, we would be
glad to hear from you, whether you want to change the approach or just ask about it.

## How you can help

Please [open an issue](https://github.com/HendrikBorgelt/Draft_for_IUPAC_CIAAW-Isotopic-Abundances-and-Atomic-Weights/issues). All of these are useful:

- A value, footnote or term that looks wrong
- Something in the model that does not match how CIAAW thinks about its data
- A use case that this design would not support
- Experience with related work, such as other chemical or metrological linked data

The source code, the DCTAP model and the instructions for rebuilding everything are
