(3) The syntax of CIF is a proper subset of the syntax of STAR Files as described by Hall (1991[link]) and Hall & Spadaccini (1994[link]). The general structure is described below in Section 2.2.7.1.4[link] and a number of subsections list specific restrictions to the STAR syntax that are in force within CIF. A formal language grammar using computer-science notation is included as Section 2.2.7.2[link].
