Notes.- Column (2): PMAS type of 1D spectra. Columns (3)-(5): spectral classification based on the [O  III]$\lambda $5007/H$\beta $ vs. [O  I]$\lambda $6300/H$\alpha $, [N  II]$\lambda $6584/H$\alpha $, and the [S  II] $\lambda \lambda $6717,6731/H$\alpha $diagrams, respectively and the classical boundaries of V&O87 in the BPT diagrams. The classifications are, HII = HII galaxy, L = LINER, and Sy = Seyfert. Galaxies classified as Composite are likely to be a combination of AGN activity and star formation. The classifications take into account the $\pm$1$\sigma$ uncertainties reported by Kewley et al. (2001a) for the maximum starburst lines. Columns (6)-(8): as Columns (3)-(5) but using the latest theoretical/SSDS boundaries. Column (9): adopted spectral classification.
