This is a solicited proposal to supplement the STARTYP1/2 programme goal of obtaining stellar template spectra. As part of the requirements for a solicited proposal, we agree to make the data from this proposal available one month after despatch from ESA through our web server at http://gibbs1.plh.af.mil. We propose to concentrate this effort towards sources which are poorly represented in the existing ISO database. These sources include MK types of some main sequence sources (B,A and M dwarves), a few classes of giants (F and M), LRS class 2x with [12]-[25] colors between 1.1 and 2.1, and redder C stars (LRS 4x). The primary objective of the STARTYP1/2 proposal is to construct an ISO data-base for spectral classification of the brightest representive sources characterized by the IRAS Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS) classification, the NASA Ames AI classification of the LRS and a sampling based on MK spectral type or IRAS color. In order to obtain the large and statistically significant data-base required to develop a comprehensive spectral classification scheme, we propose to complement and add to spectral measurements proposed by other central program and open time observers. We also need to include the spectral measurements made for calibration and "benchmarking" purposes. Consequently, except for the data for which the SWS and SOT consortia have the rights, we will have to wait until the data taken by others get into the public domain to proceed with the classification effort. The majority of our dedicated time will be devoted to observations with the SWS in the rapid scan mode, SWS01, and with PHOT in the PHT-S mode.
