. The MCDHF/MCHF Collection contains extensive transition data currently for seven isoelectronic sequences (LI, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne). The method of simultaneous optimization considerably enhanced the means of computing a common radial basis when many terms exhibit relativistic mixing effects. The method allows for a simultaneous optimization of the weighted energy functional of a set of selected terms and eigenvalues. Applying the Breit-Pauli corrections included the relativistic effects. The accuracies of the transition energy, rates and lifetimes were compared with some high precision experiments and benchmark studies. The transition energies compared to the observed were accurate within a fraction of percent, and the accuracy of the transition rates was very often less than 1data were evaluated based on discrepancies between observed and theoretical energy, and the velocity and length forms of line strength.
