# ORCHID data

> ORCHID data: 73,542 literature values (invariant reactions, phase transitions, phase compositions, thermochemical and structural data) from 1,321 papers, 2,722 calculated binary phase diagrams and DFT/CALPHAD convex hulls; CC BY 4.0.

HTML: https://data.orchid-project.org/ · Markdown: https://data.orchid-project.org/index.md

This is the data site of ORCHID (Open Repository for CALPHAD Hypotheses, Intelligence, and Discovery, [orchid-project.org](https://orchid-project.org/)). Every value carries its evidence class (experimental, model, DFT, unspecified; never mixed or averaged), its source paper and DOI, and the table row or short verbatim passage and page it was read from. Release: `orchid-literature 2026-10-23 (record store db-v2.1: invariant/general v2.1.19r, text+context fixup-20261022)`.

Status: Version 1, machine-extracted: values were read by language-model readers constrained to quote their source and checked automatically, and the release was then audited on the printed pages by adversarial audits, an independent second review of fit-facing records and a preliminary human review of a frozen sample. Flags such as accepted and ESPEI-ready record screening results, not certification; known issues are listed in the release notes.
