Collecting all the data and references for a given star is generally a very time-consuming task, because the star may have many identifications. It is therefore a very first need to know the various identifications which may be used in the primary literature concerning a given star, in order to retrieve the whole set of information about the star.

The Catalogue of Stellar Identifications (CSI), which tries to solve this problem of cross-identifications, is therefore the fundamental file of the Stellar Data Center. It was created five years ago by J. Jung (1971), who was the first Director of the Center, with the help of Madame Bischoff and Madame Morin. The CSI was first a merging of some fundamental catalogues: SAO, HD, AGK2, CPC (Cape Photographic Catalogue for 1950), YZ (Yale Zone Catalogue), and GC. For each star, the information was the following:
