abstract
We present the 158 standard stars that define the u'g'r'i'z' photometric system. These stars form the basis for the photometric calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The defining instrument system and filters, the observing process, the reduction techniques, and the software used to create the stellar network are all described. We briefly discuss the history of the star selection process, the derivation of a set of transformation equations for the UBVRcIc system, and plans for future work.

Recalibration of SDSS photometric zero-points based on the InfraRed Flux Method temperature scale
Revised SDSS ugriz zero-points obtained by inverting IRFM on 6000+ FGK stars to match an adopted temperature scale, with largest offset in u band depending on filter curves.
