Re: Report for 2024

Do you want to add our work on the DDL2 -- DDLm interoperation for imgCIF or did you cover that previously?

Dear COMCIFS,

Please see my draft report for 2024 below, which is quite short this year. If you know of any CIF-relevant activity that has been omitted, please let me know and supply a few sentences that I can incorporate into the report. The deadline for submission is the end of the month.

best wishes,

James.

COMCIFS Report 2024
===================

COMCIFS is responsible for development and maintenance of the
CIF standard.

Dictionary licensing

COMCIFS voted to make the Creative Commons Attribution licence
(CC-BY-4.0) the default license for CIF dictionaries. This means
that dictionaries may be freely shared, as long as their origin
is acknowledged and any changes to the original are noted. This decision has
been conveyed to the Executive for their approval.

International Tables Volume G

A new chapter covering the NeXus format was commissioned and
largely completed this year. Other chapters continue to be added to
and refined, with the editors aiming for completion of the
Volume this year.

Dictionary development

A new draft version of the modulated and composite structure dictionary
was developed by G. Madariaga, and a number of data names relating to
radiation damage were added to the core dictionary.

Looking forward

In the run-up to publication of Volume G all dictionaries will see
formal releases. Work is ongoing to finalise the non-core
dictionaries, with particular focus on powder CIF.
