 === Description ===
+This table contains a list of all valid apertures (eg f/2, f/5.6, etc).
 === Purpose ===
+To enforce referential integrity.
+Note:  This table will likely be eliminated in the future in favor of direct aperture representation -- this is an unnecessary abstraction.
 === Schema ===
