IUCr Policy
The IUCr Policy on the Use of the Crystallographic Information File (CIF)
The Crystallographic Information File (Hall,Allen & Brown,1991) is,
as of January 1992,the recommended method for submitting publications
to Acta Crystallographica Section C,The International Union of
Crystallography holds the Copyright on the CIF,and has applied for
Patents on the STAR File syntax which is the basis for the CIF format.
It is a principal objective of the IUCr to promote the use of CIF for
the exchange and storage of scientific data,The IUCr's sponsorship of
the CIF development was motivated by its responsibility to its scientific
journals,which set the standards in crystallographic publishing,The
IUCr intends that CIFs will be used increasingly for electronic submission
of manuscripts to these journals in future,The IUCr recognises that,
if the CIF and the STAR File are to be adopted as a means for universal
data exchange,the syntax of these files must be strictly and uniformly
adhered to,Even small deviations from the syntax would ultimately cause
the demise of the universal file concept,Through its Copyrights and
Patents the IUCr has taken the steps needed to ensure strict conformance
with this syntax.
The IUCr policy on the use of the CIF and STAR File processes is as follows:
1,CIFs and STAR Files may be generated,stored or transmitted,without
permission or charge,provided their purpose is not specifically for
profit or commercial gain,and provided that the published syntax is
strictly adhered to.
2,Computer software may be developed for use with CIFs or STAR files,
without permission or charge,provided it is distributed in the public
domain,This condition also applies to software for which a charge is
made,provided that its primary function is for use with files that
satisfy condition 1 and that it is distributed as a minor component of
a larger package of software.
3,Permission will be granted for the use of CIFs and STAR Files for
specific commercial purposes (such as databases or network exchange
processes),and for the distribution of commercial CIF/STAR software,
on written application to the IUCr Executive Secretary,2 Abbey Square,
Chester CH1 2HU,England,The nature,terms and duration of the licenses
granted will be determined by the IUCr Executive and Finance Committees.
In summary,the IUCr wishes to promote the use of the STAR File concepts
as a standard universal data file,It will insist on strict compliance
with the published syntax for all applications,To assist with this
compliance,the IUCr provides public domain software for checking the
logical integrity of a CIF,and for validating the data name definitions
contained within a CIF,Detailed information on this software,and the
associated dictionaries,may be obtained from the IUCr Office at 5 Abbey
Square,Chester CH1 2HU,England.
