This work started when one of the authors (E.M.) was at the Università di Roma La Sapienza. We made large use of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the NED database and other astronomical catalogues distributed in digital form (Vizier and Simbad) at Centre de Dates astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) at the Louis Pasteur University. This work has made use of the Palermo BAT Catalogue and database operated at INAF-IASF Palermo. Spectra from the Final Release of 6dFGS have been used in our blazar diagnostics.
The use of the online version of the Roma-BZCAT and the scientific tools developed at the ASI Science Data Center (with the supervision of Paolo Giommi) were fundamental for the catalogue revision. We are therefore grateful to the ASDC technical staff for the excellent work carried out to support the on-line version of the Roma-BZCAT.
