Re: New dictionary: multiblock CIF

Dear James,
Thanks for announcing this interesting extension. The simplifiedexample in Fig. 3.1.4.1 is a big help in understanding what theconcepts described in the paper mean. Do you have a full real-worldexample of a CIF file in the new multi-block scheme?
Thanks,Marcin

This allows core CIF to remain free of the many "boilerplate" definitions that are required. A draft first release of this multiblock dictionary is available at https://github.com/COMCIFS/MultiBlock_Dictionary/blob/rc-1.0.0/multi_block_core.dic for your review. This first release of the dictionary contains only definitions that are already present in the latest release of the core dictionary; once the present dictionary is approved they will be removed from the core dictionary.>> The technical details of describing multi-block data with CIF dictionaries are available in section 3.1.4 of our IUCr2023 workshop handout at https://www.iucr.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/157011/handout.pdf, or a brief summary is in the README of the above repository.>> Please feel free to provide feedback either via reply to this message or raising issues in the Github repository linked above.
