Abstract
The use of photometric and spectroscopic criteria, calibrated by model-atmosphere calculations, for determining effective temperatures, surface gravities and chemical compositions of stars is illustrated and commented on. The accuracy that can be obtained today in such calibrations is discussed, as well as possible ways of improving this accuracy further for different types of stars.
