Re: [dddwg] [CODATA-international] Video record of the IUCr DDDWGMetadata Workshop

Dear Brian
Many thanks for this, and congratulations on an excellent piece of work. It could be useful if we could use your work in an exemplary fashion for others. I will discuss this with Simon and we might then have a dialogue with you.

All good wishes
Geoffrey
