Dear COMCIFS and core DMG, (Apologies for the cross-posting, I wanted to get as wide a coverage as possible) COMCIFS has been invited to submit ideas for microsymposium topics and keynote speakers at the IUCr 2023 meeting in Melbourne. This time around we have also been granted a representative on the program committee, who would participate either remotely or in person in Melbourne, or maybe Prague, in April this year. I suggest turning our minds to whom to nominate (doesn't have to be a member of the committee) after we've discussed our favoured topics and potentially coordinated with CommDat. The timeframe for this discussion is unfortunately rather short given the IPC schedule, so I suggest we allocate a week to discussion of potential topics and then see about nominations. Note that I will not be nominating to be the IPC delegate. Let's start the ball rolling by discussing possible MS topics. We did not put forward anything of our own for the most recent congress in Prague, so the time is ripe for some quality CIF discussion. As in previous years, topics which overlap with other commissions and committees have a better chance of proceeding, with CommDat being the obvious potential co-proposer, but CIF being CIF our work is relevant to most commissions. A topic I'd like to propose as a conversation starter is: ========= Integrating CIF into the new world of data standards Blurb: In recent years many scientific disciplines and organisations have started putting serious resources into data standardisation. These efforts increasingly overlap with areas for which CIF dictionaries already exist, challenging us to find a way for information contained in CIF archives and dictionaries to be integrated into other standards efforts. Examples of talks that might appear in this symposium would include: 1. Interoperating NeXus and CIF 2. Managing CIF IP issues for CIF reuse 3. How standards effort <insert name here> uses CIF 4. Integrating CIF into the semantic web ========= Looking forward to hearing your ideas and feedback! all the best, James. -- T +61 (02) 9717 9907 F +61 (02) 9717 3145 M +61 (04) 0249 4148
