Field notes

The homepage organizes libraries by country and standard, with section counts shown for many collections and unfinished entries marked explicitly. Its stated data method distinguishes AISC values, used as published, from other values recalculated from standard geometry; the page also cautions that the project is a prototype and values should be checked against their original sources.
