| 134621 | 2015-04-02 | The 'cif_fix_values' script with an option '--fix-only-weighting-scheme' and 'cif_filter' script were run over CIF files which included an incorrect value of the data item '_refine_ls_weighting_scheme'. Read the log for more details. There were more than 18k CIF files with values to modify. Usually these incorrect values include comment with formulas, but values of this data item must be an enumerator. The script creates new data item '_refine_ls_weighting_details' to store these comments with formulas, and writes the enumerator 'calc' as a value of data item '_refine_ls_weighting_scheme'. There exists some exceptions in the script. |

| 26029 | 2011-09-17 | cif/2/ Reverting changes of revision 25271: ( cd cif/2/; svn merge -r25271:25270 . ) The problem was that the reprocessed files from IUCr, although were more complete, "resurrected" data errors that were corrected in the previous recisions. The additional data that have been extracted during the reprocessing will have to be merged without overwriting the existing values in COD files, except some explicit and controlled cases (such as publication titles and chemical names). |

| 858 | 2009-11-18 | cod/cif/ Changing all _chemical_formula_sum values, were necessary, to conform IUCr recommended syntax and sorting order. After this operation, it will be easier to search for structures using the _chemical_formula_sum values. Only those files and thos lines that really needed to be changed were changed; otehrwise the CIFs were not reformatted. The procedure was as follows: first, all files were passed through a 'cif_filter --parse-formula-sum' command, and the lines containing _cif_formula_sum matching tags were extracted. The extracted tags were "spliced" into the CIF files using the ./bin/{un,}grepciftag commands and awk to filter out old tags and add new tags in their place; the replacement was only done if the new tags contained "_cod_" tags ('grep -q _cod_ tmp-$$'), indicating that cif_filter has altered the formula, or the original file did not contain the _chemical_formula_sum tag ('! grep -q _chemical_formula_sum X'), indicating that cif_filter has guessed the chemical_formula_sum from the file (which should not have happened, actually). If the file was different, disregarding spaces, from the original one ('if ! diff -wb X tmp2-$$'), the original was replaced by the new file, to be committed to the repository. The full command for this step was: ( \ set -x; \ find ? -name \*.cif \ | xargs -n1 -iX \ sh -c 'cif_filter --parse-formula-sum X \ | ./bin/grepciftag _chemical_formula_sum > tmp-$$; \ if grep -q _cod_ tmp-$$ || ! grep -q _chemical_formula_sum X; \ then \ awk "/^#/,/_chemical_formula_sum/{print} /_chemical_formula_sum/{exit}" X \ | ./bin/ungrepciftag _chemical_formula_sum > tmp2-$$; \ cat tmp-$$ >> tmp2-$$; \ awk "/_chemical_formula_sum/,/\$eof/" X \ | ./bin/ungrepciftag _chemical_formula_sum >> tmp2-$$; \ if ! diff -wb X tmp2-$$; \ then \ mv -fv tmp2-$$ X; \ fi; \ fi; \ rm -f tmp-$$ tmp2-$$' \ ) >& sort-chemical-formulae-2009.11.16.log Next, the files were searched that differ from their originals only by the order of CIF tags: svn st \ | awk '/^M/{print $NF}' \ | sort | xargs -n1 -iX \ bash -c 'if diff -q <(svn cat X|sort) <(sort X) >& /dev/null; \ then echo X; \ fi' \ >& only-reordered.lst These files, after manual inspection ('cat only-reordered.lst | xargs svn diff | less'), were reverted to the originals: cat only-reordered.lst | xargs svn revert Finally, a syntax check was performed using 'vcif': svn st | awk '/^M/{print $NF}' \ | sort | xargs -n1 -iX \ sh -c 'echo -n X"\r"; vcif -l 2048 X || { echo == X == ; echo X >&2; }' \ 2> vcif-check-2009.11.18.err A check on the whole COD archive showed the same files as recorded in vcif-check-2009.11.18.err: find ? -name \*.cif \ | sort \ | xargs -n1 -iX \ sh -c 'echo -n X"\r"; \ vcif -l 2048 X || { echo == X == ; echo X >&2; }' \ 2> vcif-all-check-`-date`.err diff vcif-check-2009.11.18.err vcif-all-check-2009.11.18.err Since no differences were detected in between vcif-check-2009.11.18.err and vcif-all-check-2009.11.18.err, the latter was deleted and is not committed. The check reveled two broken files, 2/2000267.cif and 2/2001000.cif; these were corrected manually. Afther this, one more 'vcif' check showed no syntax errors, and the changes are committed into the COD repository. 19798 files have modifications in this commit, according to svn st | grep '^M' | wc -l |

| 846 | 2009-11-14 | cif/ Fixing _journal_volume values that had series letters prepended to them. Now the series letters are appended to the _journal_name_full, if needed, and the _journal_volume is purely numeric. To mimimise textual changes to CIFs this was done in several stages. First of all, a list of _journal_volume was compiled from the COD CIF collection: bash -xc 'find ? -name \*.cif \ | xargs cif_values \ --file \ --tag _journal_volume' \ >& cod-journal-volumes-`-date`.log & giving us a cod-journal-volumes-2009.11.13.log file (committed for reference as well). Then a list of volume names with letters was extracted and most of them transformed automatically into a correct form: awk '$3~/^[A-Z][0-9]/' cod-journal-volumes-2009.11.13.log \ | awk '{print $1}' \ | xargs -n1 -iI \ bash -c 'echo === I ===;\ awk "/^#/,/^data_/{print}/^data_/{exit}" I > tmp-$$; \ cif_adjust_journal_name_volume I \ | grep -E "_journal_name_full|_journal_volume" >> tmp-$$; \ awk "/^data_/,/\$eof/" I \ | grep -vE "^(data_|_journal_name_full|_journal_volume)" >> tmp-$$;\ mv -v tmp-$$ I' Note that this procedure assumes that all tags are at the beginning of the line, each value follows its tag on the same line, and there is only one tag per line. This procedure is not suitable for general CIFs, but fortunately, only very few CIFs in COD do not conform these rules. After the automatic conversion, a syntax check was run: svn st ? \ | awk '{print $NF}' \ | xargs -n1 -iI sh -c 'echo -n I"\r"; vcif -l 2048 I || echo "!!! I !!!\n"' Entries that were found to have errors (very few, less than 10) were reverted and fixed manually. The entries that had letters embedded into them were grepped separately: awk '$3~/[A-Z][0-9]/' cod-journal-volumes-2009.11.13.log \ | awk '$3~/^[^A-Z]/' and fixed manually. After all fixes, the previous 'vcif' test was rerun, yielding no syntax errors, and in addition a 'cif_filter' roundtrip test was run: svn st ? \ | awk '{print $NF}' \ | xargs -n1 -iI \ bash -c ' \ echo -en I "\r"; \ diff \ <(cif_filter I >& /dev/null) \ <(cif_filter I | cif_filter >& /dev/null) \ || echo "!!! I !!!\n"' This last test discovered one misspelled '_journal_yrae' tag in the 2/2003193.cif entry that was fixed by hand. |
