Dear colleagues,
I am currently at the CECAM workshop "Towards a Common Format for Computational Materials Science Data", which has direct and very important relevance to the TCOD and our dictionaries. This afternoon, I'll give a talk on the TCOD, other crystallographic databases and their potential for crystallography:

Yesterday people presented Nomad and MGI databases, a very impressive development since the last CECAM meeting.
My main goal would be to make sure that TCOD dictionaries, Nomad and MGI ontologies are all compatible so that we can seamlessly exchange data between experimental and theoretical applications.
All you ideas and comments are very welcome! (and my apologies if I inadvertently forgot someone in the acknowledgements -- please remind me ;) )
Sincerely yours, Saulius

Hello Saulius,
It's funny, I'm getting several e-mail reports about what is going on in this workshop -- almost 'live'. That's a strong indication it's a good event, and it compensates a tiny bit for me not being able to be there.
I had a quick look at your slides. No specific comments. We are rapidly evolving from a situation with no proper description standard to a situation of competing standards. The challenge is to turn that competition into true collaboration. I sincerely hope this workshop can contribute to that.
Best regards, Stefaan
