 Suggested improvements should come in via pull requests, where each pull request provides proposed modifications (including potentially supporting tools/scripts, data, references, or links to the same) and a clear explanation of these changes.
 Thus, over time the current, curated database is expected to move away from simply reflecting the contents of the Excel spreadsheet and become more valuable.
 
+Some specific points of curation which will be needed include:
+- Separation of different types of data; for example, the main tab in the database Excel spreadsheet (and the data in `guthrie_database.csv`) contains not just hydration free energies but other properties with other units, e.g. the entries for phenol include values reported in mg/L, g/m^3, etc.
+- unit handling; values are present in kJ/mol and kcal/mol
+- checking of molecule names against SMILES and stereochemistry; I (DLM) previously gave Peter some tools to help with this but I do not know if he has used them
+
 ## Manifest
 - `GuthrieDatabase_April14.zip`: Guthrie database (Excel spreadsheet) as it was provided
+- `guthrie_database.csv`: Exported csv file of main tab of Excel spreadsheet
+- `guthrie_references_and_status.csv`: Additional tab of Excel spreadsheet which provides definitions of the references and reports on Peter's progress in extracting data from those references; may highlight other areas where more data is still available
+
+There is also data/curation work in an additional tab of the spreadsheet, Sheet 2, which may be useful but is not present here as a separate file yet.
+
+## Using the dataset
+
+The data set can be loaded easily in Python using `pandas`, for example as:
+```
+python
+import pandas
+db = pandas.read_csv('guthrie_database.csv', encoding='latin1')
+data = db[db.Name=='phenol']
+```
+to load the database and extract all data with a molecule named phenol
