Dear DDLm group, Now that the CIF2 syntax specification is well on the way to approval, our energies can be turned towards the remaining pieces in the puzzle, which are DDLm and dREL. DDLm and dREL are the result of at least a decade of development and consultation. Given the lack of objections to the DDLm specification within this group, I am satisfied that the draft of DDLm that is currently posted is sufficiently well-developed to serve as a version 0.99 document that can be accepted by COMCIFS under its normal dictionary acceptance procedure. This group would then become the DDLm dictionary maintenance group (subject to formal COMCIFS approval). Meanwhile, work needs to be done to produce DDLm versions of current DDL1 and DDL2 dictionaries; this may expose some minor flaws in the DDLm specification which I believe can be dealt with as DDLm updates. Once a few such DDLm dictionaries are ready, we should then be ready to release a 1.0 DDLm specification together with accompanying dictionaries. I note here that David Brown has already prepared a draft Core dictionary in DDLm based on Nick and Syd's version. Therefore, please indicate if you agree to submit DDLm and dREL to COMCIFS for approval without further discussion on this list. In any case, if no objections are received by the end of the year (the expiry of the term for objections to the CIF2 specification) I will submit both DDLm and dREL to COMCIFS for approval in the New Year. James. -- T +61 (02) 9717 9907 F +61 (02) 9717 3145 M +61 (04) 0249 4148 _______________________________________________ ddlm-group mailing list ddlm-group@iucr.org http://scripts.iucr.org/mailman/listinfo/ddlm-group
