Dear James,
Do I interpret correctly that the question is about CIF 2 data values of type Table, as opposed to DDLm category keys? And if I do have that right, then do I further understand correctly that the question is about the data types of the keys themselves, not
the types of their associated values?
If I understand correctly on both counts then I have no objection to requiring table keys to be of consistent type. Moreover, I observe that CIF 2 is apparently more restrictive about the table values it can represent than dREL is about the table values it
can work with, because CIF 2 tables must have string keys.
Cheers,
John

Why is it necessary or desirable to have a uniform type for keys? This would seem to bar a lot of uses of
rather natural mmCIF and imgCIF constructs in which tables can be formed with composite keys some
of which are integers, such as array_id and binary_id and some of which are strings such as entry_id.
This kind of mixture allows us to build useful databases of information culled from multiple entries unless
we completely forbid making databases of rows extracted from tables with integer keys where the data
comes from multiple entries.
Regards,
Herbert
