291351 (current)	2024-04-25	Inserting Z values for entries in the 9 range, mostly missing	9005864.cif
282068	2023-03-26	cod/ (saulius@tasmanijos-velnias) Adding the '_cod_related_entry_...' loop to those COD AMCSD entries that lacked it, and adding the related AMCSD database ID to this loop.	9005864.cif
282053	2023-03-24	cod/ (saulius@tasmanijos-velnias) Updating the existing COD records from the recent AMCSD downloads: - Adding AMCSD IDs to those COD records that exacly matched the AMCSD structures (comparing unit cells, space groups, coordinates and measurement conditions) but did not yet have the AMCSD ID; - Adding new mineral names, compound sources, measurement conditions (when those were missing) and other informations from the AMCSD CIFs.	9005864.cif
120115	2014-07-12	Adding DOIs to range 9 structures.	9005864.cif
85285	2013-05-05	cod/ (saulius@koala.ibt.lt) Removing outdated _amcsd_database_code data items from all series 9 CIFs.	9005864.cif
35913	2012-02-28	cif/9/ Reorganising range 9 into a prefix-directory tree. Range 9 is the last range to be reorganised.	9005864.cif
1210	2010-06-10	cif/9/ Updating 13213 AMCSD CIFs, taking new data from the AMCSD database and adding the assigned AMCSD numbers.	9005864.cif
1071	2010-04-10	cif/9/ Updating COD entries from AMCSD, processed in the AMCSD-resynchronisation-2009.06.24/ directory. Entries are updated if they could be unambiguously mapped to a unique COD number by automatic search scripts in AMCSD-resynchronisation-2009.06.24/.	9005864.cif
966	2010-01-30	cif/ Adding _cod_database_code tags to all COD entries. Adding tag description to the cif_cod.dic dictionary so that COD entries can be validated.	9005864.cif
893	2009-11-20	cif/ Generating _diffrn_ambient_temperature and _diffrn_ambient_pressure tags from the CIF file comments like "T = 100K" (using the 975 revision of cif_create_AMCSD_pressure_temp_tags). Mostly, series 9 CIFs (obtained AMCSD) have such comments. Only files that did not had these tags originally were changed. The tags were generated using the following command: ( \ set -x; \ find $(/bin/ls -rd ?) -name \*.cif \ \| xargs -n1 -iX \ bash -c 'awk "/^#/,/^data_/{print}/^data_/{exit}" X \ \| grep -v "^data_" > tmp-$$; \ cif_create_AMCSD_pressure_temp_tags X >> tmp-$$; \ if (grep -q _diffrn_ambient_temperature tmp-$$ >& /dev/null && \ ! grep -q _diffrn_ambient_temperature X >& /dev/null) \|\| \ (grep -q _diffrn_ambient_pressure tmp-$$ >& /dev/null && \ ! grep -q _diffrn_ambient_pressure X >& /dev/null); \ then \ mv -v tmp-$$ X; \ fi; \ rm -f tmp-$$' \ ) >& make-temp-pressure-tags.log After this, the modified files were checked using 'vcif': svn st \| grep ^M \| awk '{print $NF}' \| xargs -n1 vcif -l 2048 It was checked that for the other tags, only tag order and value formatting has changed in the modifed files, if at all: ( \ set -x; \ svn st ? \ \| awk '/^M/{print $NF}' \ \| sort \ \| xargs -n1 -iX \ bash -c 'echo -e "\n"=== X ===; \ diff -b \ <(svn cat X \| sort) \ <(sort X)' \ ) 2>&1 \| tee diff-sorted.log tdbgrep === diff-sorted.log \ \| grep -v ^=== \ \| grep -v '^> _diffrn_' \ \| grep . \ \| grep -vE '^[0-9]+a[0-9]+' \ \| less and the changed files were validated against the cif_core.dic (thus checking, among others checks, that the values of the inserted tags have correct types): ( \ set -x; \ svn st ? \ \| awk '/^M/{print $NF}' \ \| sort \ \| xargs -n1 -iX \ bash -c 'echo === X ===; \ cif_validate \ --dic ~/struct/CIF-dictionaries/cif_core.dic \ X \ --check-all \ --do-not-check-tag-exists-local' \ ) >& validate-pressure-temperature.log	9005864.cif
255	2008-03-10	Redepositing all AMCSD (9series) COD CIF files. This redeposition regenerates AMCSD (9 series) files, 10011 entries total, from the original source CIF file cifdata.cif found on the CD received from Armel. Most importantly, the truncated formulas seem to be corrected. The files are not folded, i.e. they have lines longer than 80 characters (conforming CIF 1.1 specification, but not CIF 1.0 specification), and are otherwise syntactically correct. Some missing coordinates were fixed manually, restoring them from the AMCSD site, and non-ASCII symbols were fixed automatically during filtering. After the redeposition, the cifs-with-errors.lst was regenerated using the following command: find -name \*.cif \ \| xargs -n1 -iI sh -c 'vcif -l 2048 I \|\| echo I' \ \| grep -vE 'CIF\|ERR' \ \| sort > cifs-with-errors.lst &	9005864.cif
19	2008-01-26	Changing all end-of-line codes from DOS style to UNIX style in all COD CIF files, for more convenient processing: In the cod/cif/ directory: ff \*.cif \| xargs perl -i -pe 's/\r\n/\n/'	9005864.cif
14	2008-01-14	Appending a header with SVN keywords, COD URL and copying policy to all COD CIF files.	9005864.cif
13	2008-01-13	Setting the svn:keywords property to "Author Date Revision URL Id" for all CIF files in the cod/cif directory.	9005864.cif
1	2007-11-30	Adding all .cif files from the COD, downloaded in a Cod.zip file on 2007.02.07 (and the same Cod.zip is downloadable today, on 2007.11.29)	9005864.cif
