 <h2>About HepData</h2>
 <p/>
-The Durham HepData Project has for more than 35 years compiled a database containing what can be loosely described as cross sections from HEP scattering experiments.  The data comprise total and differential cross sections, structure functions, fragmentation functions, distributions of jet measures, polarisations, etc., from a wide range of interactions.  They are all made publically available in the HepData database.
+The Durham High Energy Physics Database (HepData) has been built up over the past four decades as a unique open-access repository for scattering data from experimental particle physics.  It currently comprises the data points from plots and tables related to several thousand publications including those from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
