On July 12, 2017, the wwPDB partners plan to update the PDB FTP archive
with PDB structure entry files conforming to V5.0 of the PDBx/mmCIF
dictionary
<http://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_v50.dic/Index/>, which
already supports the global wwPDB system for Deposition, Biocuration,
and Validation of PDB data - OneDep
<https://www.wwpdb.org/deposition/system-information>.
In preparation for this update, to allow the community ample time to
test the planned update and to provide feedback, the wwPDB is now
delivering PDBx/mmCIF and XML structure entry files for all entries in
the PDB archive conforming to the new data standards via a new FTP
repository (ftp://ftp-beta.wwpdb.org/). This collection of test files
will be updated in concert with regular weekly updates of the PDB archive.
Complete lists of changes can be found at the wwPDB website
(https://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/remediation).
The wwPDB strongly encourages the community to review and test the
updated files.
Users should report V5.0 data issues to deposit-h...@mail.wwpdb.org
<mailto:deposit-h...@mail.wwpdb.org>
We will attempt to address the reported issues incrementally as User
feedback is received in advance of the rollout on July 12, 2017.
Other derived data and experimental data files of ftp-beta tree will be
delivered incrementally to the ftp-beta tree between May 3 and July 12,
2017.
The test FTP area (ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/test_data/EM/) containing
previously updated 3DEM model files (previously made available in
December 2016) is to be retired effective May 3 2017.
