SLAP Use:

The purpose of the Simple Line Access Protocol is to allow the comsuption of Spectral Line List databases using a common/standard interface. The most basic query parameters will be the minimum and maximum value for the wavelength range. Additional parameters may be used to refine the search or to model physical scenarios.

TCG Review: Working and Interest Groups

Note that the space for RFC comments from the working groups was intended to spur early review of the document. A formal approval is still requested from each of the WG and IG heads. I [TAM] have noted cases where the RFC comments seemed to indicate an approval in the RFC period but the appropriate chairs should review this final draft.
