The database will download as a text file with each database field separated by a tab, known as a TSV file (Tab Separated Values). There are two versions to download, differing in how international characters are encoded. The first downloaded database (encoded as UTF-8) will diplay them correctly in a text editor, or the Mac spreadsheet application Numbers. The second should display international characters correctly in the Windows version of Excel (encoded as Windows-1252).

DATABASE UNDER DEVELOPMENT: We are still in the process of cleaning and adding entries to this database. There are currently known issues with some formatting code and character display errors that we are resolving.
