The replacement of the EDS might be an excellent opportunity to
upgrade/include the newer EDSTATS metrics and
make these raw data also downloadable/parse-able for analysis purposes
(xml).
A server option where you can send in your own PDB files (included in the
validation server?) before submission might
be useful (the current ccp4 implementation of EDSTATS fails to
convince)...the effect of the deterrence experiencing
public maps/stats looking as bad as the ones dreamt up at home might enhance
deposition quality.
Best, BR

Subject: [ccp4bb] Message from the Uppsala EDS: "Morituri te salutant"
Hi all,
After tirelessly serving the scientific community with (mostly) beautiful
maps for two decades, the Uppsala Electron Density Server (EDS;
http://eds.bmc.uu.se/) is now reaching the end of its life (in fact, it has
been living on borrowed time for several years already). Some time in 2017
it will therefore be "phased" out and join the choir invisible (despite its
beautiful plumage).
The good news is that much of the EDS functionality (and in particular the
delivery of map and mtz files, as well as a much better 3D viewer) is now
provided by the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; http://pdbe.org/).
There is a short write-up that explains what this means for users who just
want to look at maps, for users who want to download files, for users of
software that retrieves data from EDS, and for developers of such software
(incl. URLs for map, mtz and other relevant files on the PDBe website) at:

Toodle pip!
