Precise Atomic Data

Martin C. E. Huber
1988 Symposium - International astronomical union  
We discuss the three questions: Why do we need accurate atomic data for stellar spectroscopy? What accuracy is needed? And: How can the accuracy of oscillator strengths be assessed? In conclusion we comment on the state of the art, stress the importance of uncertainty estimates and also discern between precision and accuracy.
