Dear Colleagues Existing discussion threads =========================== D70.1 COMCIFS Review -------------------- Howard Flack commented on a couple of points in my suggestions for the reorganisation of COMCIFS. > (1) executive > (2) dictionary subcommittees > (3) technical working groups H> Think of another word for "executive" The terminology is, of course, less important than the stratification of function. The role of the top layer would be to define the strategy for future developments and to decide on policy issues affecting CIF as a whole. "Steering committee", "voting body", Howard's humorous (I think!) suggestion "praesidium", or any similar title would do as well. > On the other hand, there are several bodies who feel that they have a right > to representation in this forum, and they might have Observer status. Likely > candidates would be the IUCr President, representatives of the Database > Committee, Electronic Publishing Committee, Journals Commission, Nomenclature > Commission. H> H> This arrangement would suit the EPC perfectly. > The executive should conduct open discussion through a mailing list > (membership of which should be restricted to the executive and, perhaps, the > Observers) and not through the current moderated discussion. In like manner, > the subcommittees and technical working groups may conduct their business > through separate mailing lists. It would be beneficial to manage all the > mailing lists through Chester, or at least to mirror the discussions there. H> H> I agree that open discussions should be conducted through a restricted H> membership mailing list. The current moderated discussion technique H> strikes me as rather time-consuming on the poor secretary. One has to H> insist that the mail list users make correct use of the "Subject" so the H> mail reader may identify the threads, and try and teach them to send H> several messages each containing comments on one single subject rather H> than one message with many subjects. D75.2 Image Workshop -------------------- From Howard Flack: H> Concerning the "binary" problem. The neutron scattering group developing H> Nexus uses HDF for which one of the data structures are binary. Would it H> not be a good idea for COMCIFs and the Nexus to try and work together to H> avoid the development of contradictory standards? Yes. There was a very interesting presentation on Nexus during the Brookhaven workshop. There were doubts that the HDF format was appropriate for the uses envisaged, but there was very real enthusiasm for working together to prevent divergence of the data representation tokens (equivalent to CIF data names) so far as possible. Although the Nexus project permits the introduction of new dataname tags with few restrictions (and this is appropriate for describing essentially unique experimental apparatuses), there is obvious merit in choosing "standard" tags that map on to the existing data structures in the CIF descrptive framework. I hope that COMCIFS will be able to liaise with the Nexus people through the imgcif working group. Andy Hammersley circulated the following report to the members of the imgcif mailing list, and has kindly given me permission to redistribute it here. It provides a more complete review of the technical issues that were addressed at the Brookhaven workshop. Members of COMCIFS who are interested in following the detailed discussions on the implementation of these ideas are reminded that there is an open discussion list, which is currently quite active.

I'm not trying to cover everything, but just the "main" points which I recall. Bob Sweet has undertaken to produce a report on the workshop with help from various of the attendees. This report will doubtless cover more points and in greater detail, but owing to other commitments will probably not appear until December. I should start by thanking Bob Sweet, John Skinner, and Ann Emrick for a very well organised and enjoyable meeting, and thank the sponsers. I should emphasise the very constructive nature of all the discussions and underline the unanimous views on a number of major components of the format, and near unanimous view on other components. This was a very positive meeting and we can now proceed with the format given that the major outline has been decided. Conclusions: o The format will consist of one or more pseudo-ASCII header sections followed by binary sections, using a DDL2 based dictionary. (I see this as a combination of some of my CBF proposal, together with John Westbrook's dictionary. The multiple binary sections means that extra syntax is necessary.) o One or more pure ASCII text encodings may be produced from the binary "working" files. It is thus appropriate to define an "imgCIF" dictionary using DDL2. (Herb Bernstein has kindly offered to handle the translation programs from binary to ASCII and vice versa. This allows us to concentrate on the binary format.) The imgCIF dictionary will be used both within the binary format and within fully CIF compliant ASCII text translations. DDL2 is necessary to defined inter-relatedness and inter-dependencies of data items. The alias mechanism can be used to define corresponding data names for DDL1.4 applications. o "imgCIF" can be initially defined as a "local" dictionary (CIF terminology). Later it can be submitted for official approval and status, or maybe included in the core dictionary. (Don't worry about the term "local": A "local" distionary can be widespread.) o The format will be called the "Crystallographic Binary Format": CBF (pronounced "sea-biff" !) Recommended file extension "cbf" or "CBF". (Infact on day one it was decided to call the format "Binary Information File": BIF, but on day 2 CBF was preferred. Do we stick with CBF ? ) o The overall file structure was decided: File Signature (pseudo-ASCII *) (Also known as the file identifier or "magic number") Consists of a number of standard invariant characters Followed by a version number. Beginning of Header section identifier Maybe this should be optional for the first header section (?) Header Section (pseudo-ASCII *) Contains imgCIF and other CIF data names / values May contain one or more data blocks. End of header identifier (pseudo-ASCII *) White space may optionally be used to align binary to word/page/block boundaries Beginning of Binary Section Identifier (binary) This will start with ASCII printable characters, but will also include non-printable characters such as ^L ^Z ^D to separate text from binary data and to indicate the end of the "header" section to various operating systems. The number of bytes to jump to the "End of Binary" identifier will be contained within the identifier. This value may be undefined, which means that no further binary nor pseudo-ASCII sections follow the binary section. (Should each binary section contain an array id value which can be used to relate the "arrays" defined in the header section be the different binary sections ? I address this question mainly to John Westbrook.) The precise end of the identifier will define the start of the binary data. Binary Section Data whose sense has been fully defined by "_ARRAY." data names, (Maybe eventually other data names.) End of Binary Identifier This is redundant information, but is deliberately present for safety. In the case of a corrupted file could be used to recover data after the corrupted binary section. Using sufficient uniquely defined characters can make the probability of finding such a sequence in the binary vanishingly small. [Repeat of above from "Beginning of Header" identifier] End of File * pseudo-ASCII is "lines" of printable ASCII characters separated by carriage return and linefeed characters, independent of the operating system being used. (Should horizontal and vertical tabs also be allowed ? Is there a maximum allowed "line" length ?) One pseudo-ASCII section may contain multiple data blocks, and one data block may define multiple binary sections. (I will provide a fully detailed proposal for the overall syntax in the near future.) o A coordinate system flexible enough to fully describe non-ideal diffracton geometries was defined. Jim Pflugrath will produce a detailed description of the system (?). This scheme includes the generalised concept of a "gravity" vector. (Note: It is intended to perform diffraction experiments in the Space Shuttle !) o A preferred rastering scheme was defined. All rastering schemes are defined looking from the sample to the detector with the "gravity" vector upwards (my wording is probably not watertight). The "preferred" scheme is rastering from left to right (fastest), and then from top to bottom (slowest). o A structured framework for defining data name categories to fully describe "experiments" ("investigations" ?) consisting of multiple data-sets, which may contain multiple "frames", which may contain data from multiple detectors was defined. (I think the scheme as defined was not quite complete, but its extension should be relatively simple.) John Westbrook will hopefully lead the task group to define data item categories and data items. o A number of sources of extra data names which need to be defined to fully describe the source and experiment were defined. A task group will work on defining the new data names. o A number of data items will be defined to describe whether the data is raw, or has been "corrected" for a number of "distortions" e.g. detector offsets, data current, zingerings, intensity non-linearity, spatial distortion, non-uniform intensity response. o Data names to define processing requirements were discussed, but further work is necessary. A task group will work on defining the new data names. o Methods to automatically describe to processing software series of files which form a data-set were discussed e.g. templates. Further definition probably belongs to the above task group. o "Three" types of lossless data compression algorithms will be included in version 1: 1 None, 2 Simple byte offset, 3 Choice of simple predictors followed by Huffman encoding. (The details of the 2 proposed compression algorithms will be sent to Herb, so that it can be checked that they do not cause potential legal problems owing to patents.) o Availability of a highly portable freely distributed and adaptable software I/O library was discussed. The library will be written in ANSI-C. Fortran and C++ interfaces will be available. Error reporting should be performed through defined return error codes. Debugging options should be available. o An initial V0.1 software implementation was discussed. Given the inclusion in V1 of multiple binary sections, various different data types, etc. it was decided to initially implement a sub-set. i.e. Only one binary section, and only 16-bit and 32-bit integer support. Re-rastering will not be included. Andy Howard has notes on further details of the proposed implementation. o The level of commitment to implementing the format from both commercial and non-commercial participants was very high. o A task list and corresponding task groups was defined. Andy Howard will report on this. ---------------------- Forgive me for the items which I've forgotten. I'll add items to this list if there are suggestions. Best Regards, Andy ================================ New topics ========== D76.1 Core CIF Dictionary - revision to accommodate Acta C Notes for Authors ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As far back as the beginning of the year, COMCIFS gave implicit approval for the introduction of new data names required by Acta Crystallographica Section C (see circular 54). These were mostly changes of nomenclature to deprecate the use of the terms "thermal displacement", "estimated standard deviation" and "observed". These changes have been worked up into formal definitions which are listed in an appendix to this mailing. There is one additional data name that falls outside of this group, and that is "_reflns_number_Friedel". I would ask you to check through these definitions, and let me know of any errors, ambiguities or lacunae. I shall post the complete dictionary on the web as version 2.1beta1 on 28 November, to permit general public scrutiny, and request formal approval at the beginning of 1998. This is a convenient opportunity to submit additional data items that you feel are lacking from the Core. D76.2 Maintenance of the mmCIF dictionary ----------------------------------------- The preceding item is a reminder of the need to have an efficient rolling program for maintaining the published dictionaries. It is my hope that the work that I've been doing with John and Herbert will provide a protocol for the effective management of a truly distributed dictionary. In the meantime, the mmCIF working group has proposed its own modus operandi for taking the macromolecular dictionary to the next release. This scheme has been posted publicly on the mmCIF discussion list, and I reproduce it here for the information of COMCIFS members. I consider the model of an editorial board rather attractive, and invite members to consider whether it could be an appropriate model for COMCIFS itself. This proposal has been put together by Helen Berman and Paula Fitzgerald. Dear Colleagues, As a result of discussions during and subsequent to the mmCIF Software Developers' Workshop that was held at Rutgers October 17-19, 1997, we have written a plan for managing the extension of the mmCIF Dictionary. We present it here for your information and comments. As noted in item 2.4 below, all comments and reviews will be carried out via the mmCIF listserver. Helen Berman Paula Fitzgerald ------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Plan for Extending the mmCIF Dictionary The following outlines the plan by which the evolution of the mmCIF dictionary will be managed. This plan would ensure timely additions to the dictionary, review by experts in the field, and the assurance that the dictionary will remain technically sound. The model is that of a journal. 1.0 Establishment of a Dictionary Editorial Board 1.1 An Editorial Board will be established whose role will be to review the proposed new data items. The board members will represent the broad category groups of the dictionary. Potential candidates have been identified and are being invited to serve. 1.2 Paula Fitzgerald, who will serve as Editor, and Helen Berman, who will serve as Associate Editor, will be responsible for initial review of proposed new data items and for sending them out for review by the appropriate member(s) of the board. 1.3 Two technical editors, John Westbrook and Herb Bernstein, will be responsible for ensuring that the definitions are compliant with the dictionary syntax. 1.4 The editors will meet on a published schedule several times a year. The full board will meet once a year at the ACA meeting and on an ad-hoc basis as needed. 2.0 Procedures for Extending the mmCIF Dictionary 2.1 All proposed extensions to the dictionary will be submitted to the mmCIF server in the form of a dictionary entry. To facilitate this, a definition template will be made available on the mmCIF server. 2.2 The proposed definitions will receive a preliminary review by the editorial staff and will then be sent to the appropriate board member(s) for scientific content review. The reviewers will receive full dictionary definitions and will return them with corrections and/or modifications. 2.3 Once definitions have been approved they would be put into a provisonal extensions dictionary. If the proposed data item was submitted with a local data name prefix, that prefix will be removed in the entry in the extensions dictionary, but an alias to the local dictionary name (with the extension) will be retained. A policy for retentions times for these aliases is under discussion. 2.4 The provisional dictionary will be available on the mmCIF server and will be updated on a continuing basis. Members of the community at large will be encouraged to monitor the evolution of the extensions dictionary via the mmCIF web page, and to comment on all new data items via the mmCIF list server. 3.0 Proposed Timetable for Extending the mmCIF Dictionary 3.1 For review of Version 2 extensions, the meeting dates for the Editor and Associate Editor will be December 1, 1997, January 12, 1998, February 9, 1998 and March 16, 1998. 3.2 On April 1, the extensions dictionary will be sent to COMCIFS for preliminary technical review. 3.3 Full community review will begin on April 15, 1998 and conclude on May 16, 1988, at which date the extensions dictionary will be sent to COMCIFS for formal approval. Once approved, the extensions dictionary will be merged with Version 1.0 of the mmCIF dictionary, and the merged dictionary will be published as Version 2.0. -- D76.3 Version numbering ----------------------- A point that arises from the above proposal is the style for numbering subsequent versions of the dictionaries - Paula and Helen are proposing that the next release of the mmCIF dictionary with enhanced content should be version 2.0. I have taken the view with the Core dictionary that the first (1991) release differs from the current release not only in content, but also in formalism - DDL version "0" versus DDL 1.4, and that this is the primary reason for having different major version numbers (i.e. core CIF versions 1.0 and 2.0.1). Hence I anticipated that the next core release would be version 2.1, and not 3.0. However, it makes sense that we progress the versioning according to similar principles across our growing family of dictionaries. I have no objections to increasing the major version number with each addition of significant content (other than the slight worry I have when I use the emacs editor version 19.16 that the authors could surely have got it right before now!), but I'd like to hear what other members think. Best wishes Brian ############################################################################## APPENDIX Changes to the core CIF Dictionary The core dictionary is a large enough document that it is inconvenient to post, and difficult enough to extract unambiguously the changes between versions. I therefore include here some indications of the changes that have been made, but encourage you to download and look at the full version to resolve any ambiguities that you find. the full version is at ftp://ftp.iucr.org/cifdics/cif_core_2.1beta.dic The following data blocks have been modified. ("<" flags data blocks that have been deleted, ">" ones that have been added. Deletions from the older dictionary file indicate that a composite definition has been broken up into multiple definitions in the newer dictionary - for example to indicate that an "..._obs" data name should be replaced by a "..._gt" one.) > data_atom_site_adp_type > data_diffrn_measured_fraction_theta_full > data_diffrn_measured_fraction_theta_max > data_diffrn_detector_area_resol_mean < data_diffrn_reflns_theta_ > data_diffrn_reflns_theta_full > data_diffrn_reflns_theta_max > data_diffrn_reflns_theta_min < data_refine_ls_goodness_of_fit_ > data_refine_ls_goodness_of_fit_all > data_refine_ls_goodness_of_fit_gt > data_refine_ls_goodness_of_fit_obs > data_refine_ls_goodness_of_fit_ref < data_refine_ls_R_factor_ > data_refine_ls_R_factor_all > data_refine_ls_R_factor_gt > data_refine_ls_R_factor_obs < data_refine_ls_restrained_S_ < data_refine_ls_shift/esd_ > data_refine_ls_restrained_S_all > data_refine_ls_restrained_S_gt > data_refine_ls_restrained_S_obs > data_refine_ls_shift/esd_max > data_refine_ls_shift/esd_mean > data_refine_ls_shift/su_max > data_refine_ls_shift/su_mean < data_refine_ls_wR_factor_ > data_refine_ls_wR_factor_all > data_refine_ls_wR_factor_gt > data_refine_ls_wR_factor_obs > data_refine_ls_wR_factor_ref > data_refln_include_status < data_reflns_number_ > data_reflns_number_Friedel > data_reflns_number_gt > data_reflns_number_observed > data_reflns_number_total > data_reflns_threshold_expression > data_reflns_shell_meanI_over_sigI_gt > data_reflns_shell_number_measured_gt > data_reflns_shell_number_unique_gt > data_reflns_shell_percent_possible_gt > data_reflns_shell_Rmerge_F_gt > data_reflns_shell_Rmerge_I_gt The following definitions are new (the unusual layout here is a feature of the software I have used to extract these items from the full dictionary file): data_atom_site_adp_type _name '_atom_site_adp_type' _category atom_site _type char _list yes _list_reference '_atom_site_label' loop_ _enumeration _enumeration_detail Uani 'anisotropic Uij' Uiso 'isotropic U' Uovl 'overall U' Umpe 'multipole expansion U' Bani 'anisotropic Bij' Biso 'isotropic B' Bovl 'overall B' _definition ; A standard code used to describe the type of atomic displacement parameters used for the site. ; data_diffrn_measured_fraction_theta_full _name '_diffrn_measured_fraction_theta_full' _category diffrn _list yes _type numb _enumeration_range 0:1.0 _definition ; Fraction of unique (symmetry-independent) reflections measured out to _diffrn_reflns_theta_full. ; data_diffrn_measured_fraction_theta_max _name '_diffrn_measured_fraction_theta_max' _category diffrn _list yes _type numb _enumeration_range 0:1.0 _definition ; Fraction of unique (symmetry-independent) reflections measured out to _diffrn_reflns_theta_max. ; data_diffrn_detector_area_resol_mean _name '_diffrn_detector_area_resol_mean' _category diffrn_detector _type numb _enumeration_range 0.0: _units mm^-1^ _units_detail 'pixels per millimetre' _definition ; The resolution of an area detector, in pixels/mm. ; data_diffrn_reflns_theta_full _name '_diffrn_reflns_theta_full' _category diffrn_reflns _type numb _enumeration_range 0.0:90.0 _units deg _units_detail 'degrees' _definition ; The diffractometer theta angle (in degrees) at which the measured reflection count is close to complete.
