Hi all,
Sorry for contributing to the noise as well as the signal in the discussion.
To clarify:
It is not an issue of not having a place to put the data as we certainly have
definitions for this and for intermediate phasing data sets. You cannot simply
put the data into the current REFLN category which is where we presently
collect reflection data.
At present, there is no official wwPDB policy in place describing how this
data is to be processed, validated and distributed. Stuffing it into the
structure factor files, as has been done informally by some depositors, is not
a good long term solution as there is no way for people to easily find the
information. What we'll likely end up doing is store these data in separate
files (just like for NMR the raw NOE peak lists and distance restraints are
likely to be archived and distributed as separate files).
As I tried to explain yesterday, the case for both unmerged Is and unassigned
NOE peak lists has been made, and this will get implemented. It will just take
a bit of time.
