Name:
_space_group.IT_coordinate_system_code

Definition:

   
     A qualifier taken from the enumeration list identifying which
     setting in International Tables for Crystallography Volume A
     (2002) (IT) is used.  See IT Table 4.3.2.1, Section 2.2.16,
     Table 2.2.16.1, Section 2.2.16.1 and Fig. 2.2.6.4.  This item
     is not computer-interpretable and cannot be used to define the
     coordinate system.
