abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">The projector augmented-wave (PAW) method is an important approach for
electronic structure calculations based on the Kohn–Sham density functional theory.
And the PAW atomic dataset plays an essential role in the implementation and application of the method. The intensive use of proprietary datasets with limited metadata in
previous years has led to difficulties in both the cross-validation of PAW codes and the
understanding of the accuracy and transferability of PAW atomic data. In this work,
we focus on the open-source ABINIT Jollet–Torrent–Holzwarth <span style="text-align: justify;">(JTH)&nbsp;</span>dataset library
in the PAW-XML format and investigate the implementation techniques to clarify how
the atomic data participate in the computations. We propose an intermediate dataset
that extends the original PAW-XML one by atomic quantities in derived forms, which
facilitate the PAW implementation using the JTH library and cover the differences between PAW datasets. Our implementation is validated by comparing the structural
property results of representative bulk materials and molecules with those calculated
by ABINIT using the same datasets. Moreover, we discuss the feasibility of using the
intermediate dataset for a quick support of PAW-XML datasets in existing PAW code.</p>},
