 +if you want to use the latest tag for 2011 data. 
 +For **real data** it should always be safe to use the latest tag (this is **not** the case for MC)
 +
 +===== How to find the tag corresponding to a dataset =====
 +In the bookkeeping-browser: First click on ''Advanced Queries'', then navigate yourself to the production name (for example ''Stripping 17b'') and then right-click to get to ''More Information''. There you should be able to read of the database tags.
