Purpose The goal of the workshop was to identify all the data, experimental conditions, etc., that would be specified in the ideal report of a calorimetric measurement of binding affinity. Because it will not always be possible to obtain all of this information, it would also be useful to identify a subset of the information that should be required in a minimal entry.
