Dictionaries

Dictionaries that are in current use for archiving EM Metadata

• wwPDB dictionary for fitted coordinates (mmCIF)
• EMDB dictionary for EM maps (xml)
• xml - cif translation tables

Draft Dictionaries

• EM Community Dictionary
• EM Program to Program Exchange Dictionary

An early step of the unified data resource project involves merging of dictionaries to facilitate the creation of joint map + model deposition systems.

Additionally, we are seeking guidance from experts in the EM field to extend parts of the dictionary for improved representation of experimental metadata. A workshop to discuss 2D crystal EM data items is described here.
