The IUCr Diffraction Data Deposition Working Group commissioned 4 papers discussing what to archive and why archiving might be a good idea. The papers are now all available in Acta Crystallographica Section D. Here are links to these open-access papers and an introduction to them: Terwilliger, T.C. ...

Notes on archiving raw crystallographic data and metadata. Tom Terwilliger, 2012-01-18 Principal reasons for archiving data for a crystallographic experiment in addition to its interpretation as a model 1. Verification that the data are consistent with their interpretation error and fraud checking 2...

This is a response I submitted to the National Science and Technology Council's Interagency Working Group on Digital Data request for information posted at: http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2011/11/04/2011-28621/request-for-information-public-access-to-digital-data-resulting-from-federally-fu...

John Helliwell points out that it might be useful to know what MX crystallographic data researchers in different countries are already expected to deposit or save. He notes that research funding agencies in the UK expect researchers to preserve their raw experimental data for at least 5 years. Can p...

Notes on discussion by telephone on Diffraction Data Deposition Working Group (John Helliwell and Tom Terwilliger, 5th Sept, 2011) JRH summarized the DDD WG meeting at the IUCR and plans for a workshop in 1 year, likely at the Bergen ECM meeting; possibly also at the ACA meeting. JRH pointed out the...
