Starting during  the IRIS12 workshop in Napoli (5-8 nov 2001), the community has converged toward the philosophy of an «as open as possible» data policy. The teams and the peoples contributing to the IRIS ++ database do agree to distribute this radial velocity database to promote any effort that can be undertaken toward a better knowledge of the interior of the Sun.

A data CD was released on this occasion containing

the daily calibrated residual files for each observation day
the pre-merged dataset
some software
some documentation
