The IUCr Policy
for the Protection and the Promotion of the STAR File and
CIF Standards for Exchanging and Archiving Electronic Data
Overview
The Crystallographic Information File (CIF)[1] is a standard for information
interchange promulgated by the International Union of Crystallography
(IUCr). CIF (Hall, Allen & Brown, 1991) is the recommended method for
submitting publications to Acta Crystallographica Section C and reports of
crystal structure determinations to other sections of Acta Crystallographica
and many other journals. The syntax of a CIF is a subset of the more general
STAR File[2] format. The CIF and STAR File approaches are used increasingly
in the structural sciences for data exchange and archiving, and are having a
significant influence on these activities in other fields.
Statement of intent
The IUCr's interest in the STAR File is as a general data interchange
standard for science, and its interest in the CIF, a conformant derivative
of the STAR File, is as a concise data exchange and archival standard for
crystallography and structural science.
Protection of the standards
To protect the STAR File and the CIF as standards for interchanging and
archiving electronic data, the IUCr, on behalf of the scientific community,
* holds the copyrights on the standards themselves,
* owns the associated trademarks and service marks, and
* holds a patent on the STAR File.
These intellectual property rights relate solely to the interchange formats,
not to the data contained therein, nor to the software used in the
generation, access or manipulation of the data.
Promotion of the standards
The sole requirement that the IUCr, in its protective role, imposes on
software purporting to process STAR File or CIF data is that the following
conditions be met prior to sale or distribution.
* Software claiming to read files written to either the STAR File or the CIF
standard must be able to extract the pertinent data from a file conformant
to the STAR File syntax, or the CIF syntax, respectively.
* Software claiming to write files in either the STAR File, or the CIF,
standard must produce files that are conformant to the STAR File syntax, or
the CIF syntax, respectively.
* Software claiming to read definitions from a specific data dictionary
approved by the IUCr must be able to extract any pertinent definition which
is conformant to the dictionary definition language (DDL)[3] associated with
that dictionary.
The IUCr, through its Committee on CIF Standards, will assist any developer
to verify that software meets these conformance conditions.
Glossary of terms
[1] CIF:
is a data file conformant to the file syntax defined at
http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/cif/spec/index.html
[2] STAR File:
is a data file conformant to the file syntax defined at
http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/cif/spec/star/index.html
[3] DDL:
is a language used in a data dictionary to define data items in terms of
"attributes". Dictionaries currently approved by the IUCr, and the DDL
versions used to construct these dictionaries, are listed at
http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/cif/spec/ddl/index.html
