We studied a large sample of ~14000 dwarf star-forming galaxies with strong emission lines. These low-metallicity galaxies with oxygen abundances of 12+logO/H~7.4-8.5 are selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and distributed in the redshift range of z~0-0.6. We modelled spectral energy distributions (SED) of all galaxies, which were based on the SDSS spectra in the visible range of 0.38{mu}m-0.92{mu}m and included both the stellar and ionised gas emission. These SEDs were extrapolated to the UV and mid-infrared ranges to cover the wavelength range of 0.1{mu}m-22{mu}m. The SDSS spectroscopic data were supplemented by photometric data from the GALEX, SDSS, 2MASS, WISE, IRAS, and NVSS all-sky surveys. Using these data, we derived global characteristics of the galaxies, such as their element abundances, luminosities, and stellar masses.
