2.5.5.4. Definition example 4: list data

| top | pdf |

The definition of the number of hydrogen atoms attached to an atom site is shown in Fig. 2.5.5.4[link]. The attributes _list and _list_reference signal whether the item is used in a list and what key item is in that list. As described in Chapters 2.1[link] and 2.2[link] , a CIF list is a two-dimensional table where data items are in the columns (headed by the data names) and the values are the rows. The attribute _list is yes if a data item may be used in a list. The attribute _list_reference specifies the key item as _atom_site_label. Each value of a key item must be unique so that the row of associated items can be accessed unambiguously. The attribute _enumeration_default specifies a default value for the defined item if it is absent from the data file.
