Session Abstract

Crystallographic databases have a long and distinguished history. The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has been in operation for more than 50 years and is reaching its millionth published crystal structure entry. The Protein Data Bank was founded in 1971 and has around 150,000 entries, mainly derived from X-ray crystallography but also from NMR, cryoEM and neutron crystallography and integrative methods. The validation of entries is a major effort, and one that could act as an exemplar for other scientific fields. The science educational use of the entries is absolutely gargantuan. The impact on science and medicine based industries is huge. The microsymposium will explore best practice in archiving and the development of tools for optimal dissemination of the data curated by the database organisations. The modern challenge for databases also includes handling of results from scattering, diffraction, spectroscopies and microscopies, once again from the full spectrum of samples such as crystals, powders, fibres, nanostructured and amorphous materials or solutions. Also in recognition of the growing interest and indeed importance given to raw data, both the CSD and PDB now invite the author/depositor to include DOIs registered for raw diffraction data images and associated metadata.
