One of the goals of the PDB has been to provide a smooth transition from the system at BNL to the new system. Accordingly AutoDep, which was developed by BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory, 1998![[link]](/graphics/greenarr.gif)
) for data deposition, has been ported to the RCSB site and enables depositors to complete partial depositions as well as to make new depositions. In addition, the EBI accepts data using AutoDep. Similarly, the programs developed at BNL for data query and distribution (PDBLite, 3DB Browser etc.) are being maintained by the remaining BNL-style mirrors. The RCSB provides data in a form usable by these mirrors. Finally, the style and format of the BNL ftp archive is being maintained at ftp://bnlarchive.rcsb.org
.
Links to the PDB at BNL were automatically redirected to the RCSB after BNL closed operations on 30 June 1999 using a network redirect implemented jointly by RCSB and BNL staff. External resources linking to the PDB are advised to change any URLs from http://www.pdb.bnl.gov to http://www.rcsb.org .
