Re: imgCIF / CBF web pages


I propose to modify slightly the "imgCIF / CBF Home Page" web page 
to recognize the large contribution made to the project by members of
the mmCIF group, and the close collaboration between the two groups.

I propose to add this paragraph:

--------------------

Much of the work of the group and many of its members
are also part of the macromolecular CIF (mmCIF) group. 
For further information on mmCIF click 
<a href="http:cifs.html"> here </a>.
For the mmCIF 
home page click <a href="http://ndbserver.rutgers.edu/NDB/mmcif/index.html">
here</a>. 

--------------------

I propose also to modify the first paragraph to add a link to this (new)
cifs.html page:

--------------------

Information on CIF may be found at
<a href="http://www.iucr.ac.uk/cif/home.html">
http://www.iucr.ac.uk/cif/home.html</a> or a number of links to
different CIF projects are available <a href="http:cifs.html"> here </a>.

--------------------

The "cifs.html" page proposed is:

--------------------

<html>
<head>
<! cifs.html >

<title> INFORMATION ON CIF'S </title>

The original paper describing the CIF format is:
<p>
<a href="http://www.iucr.ac.uk/iucr-top/cif/standard/cifstd1.html">
1. S R Hall, F H Allen, and I D Brown, "The Crystallographic Information
File (CIF): a New Standard Archive File for Crystallography",
Acta Cryst., A47, 655-685 (1991)</a>
<p>
mmCIF (macromolecular Crystallographic Information File) is an 
extension of the original CIF concept to support the added complexity
of very large macromolecular structures.

I hope this strikes an appropriate balance. Comments ?
