  Some recent efforts in compiling data for astrophysical purposes are
introduced, which were discussed during a JINA-CARINA Collaboration meeting on
"Nuclear Physics Data Compilation for Nucleosynthesis Modeling" held at the
ECT* in Trento/ Italy from May 29th- June 3rd, 2007. The main goal of this
collaboration is to develop an updated and unified nuclear reaction database
for modeling a wide variety of stellar nucleosynthesis scenarios. Presently a
large number of different reaction libraries (REACLIB) are used by the
astrophysics community. The "JINA Reaclib Database" on
http://www.nscl.msu.edu/\~nero/db/ aims to merge and fit the latest
experimental stellar cross sections and reaction rate data of various
compilations, e.g. NACRE and its extension for Big Bang nucleosynthesis,
Caughlan and Fowler, Iliadis et al., and KADoNiS. The KADoNiS (Karlsruhe
Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars,
http://nuclear-astrophysics.fzk.de/kadonis) project is an online database for
neutron capture cross sections relevant to the s process. The present version
v0.2 is already included in a REACLIB file from Basel university
(http://download.nucastro.org/astro/reaclib). The present status of
experimental stellar $(n,\gamma)$ cross sections in KADoNiS is shown. A "high
priority list" for measurements and evaluations for light charged-particle
reactions set up by the JINA-CARINA collaboration is presented. The central web
access point to submit and evaluate new data is provided by the Oak Ridge group
via the http://www.nucastrodata.org homepage. "Workflow tools" aim to make the
evaluation process transparent and allow users to follow the progress.
