The principal purpose of IAU Colloquium No. 35 was to discuss those
aspects of the techniques of the compilation, evaluation, and
distribution of data that are common to astrometry, photometry and
spectrometry of stars and stellar systems. In the announcement of
the Colloquium, it was suggested that there would be special
emphasis on the techniques of quality control, and on the standards
for the presentation of numerical data in both printed and com
puter-readable form. As the meeting progressed it became clear that
the lack of a standard, unambiguous system for the identifi cation
of stellar objects was a source of much confusion and inefficiency
in the use of existing data files. This and other such matters were
the subject of further discussions by Commission 5 at the General
Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which was
held at Grenoble during the following fortnight, 24 August - 2
September 1976. The proposal for the Colloquium was prepared by J.
Jung, who was then Director of the Centre des Donnees Stellaires at
Stras bourg, and G. A. Wilkins, Chairman of the IAU Working Group
on Numerical Data, and was accepted by the IAU Executive Committee
on the recommendation of the President of Commission 5, with the
support of Commissions 25, 29 and 45. The Scientific Organising
Committee consisted of W. Fricke, B. Hauck, C. Jaschek, J. Jung, B.
Kukarkin, P. Lacroute, A. Underhill and G. A. Wilkins (Chair man).
The Local Organising Committee consisted of A."
