The main database doesn't (to my knowledge?) incorporate uncertainties in its atomic calculations or data, which is a problem that we often like to overlook. There have been a few papers and ISSI teams to address this to varying extents (e.g. Yu et al 2018; Del Zanna et al 2019; Yu et al 2024; ISSI team).

I would like to suggest that fiasco could incorporate uncertainties, assuming of course that the data source lists the uncertainties. There are packages like lmfit/uncertainties that can be used to propagate (linear) errors through any calculations done on that atomic data, which would be particularly helpful for a quantity like line intensity that depends on a number of atomic parameters.

Is there any interest in this?
