Definition

Acronym used both for the Crystallographic Information File, a data-exchange and archival file format sponsored by the International Union of Crystallography, and the Crystallographic Information Framework, a subsequent system of exchange protocols based on data dictionaries and relational rules expressible in different machine-readable manifestations, including, but not restricted to, Crystallographic Information File and XML.

Similar acronyms are used for specific applications of the Crystallographic Information Framework, e.g.

  • mmCIF (macromolecular crystallography)
  • pdCIF (powder diffraction)
  • msCIF (description of modulated and composite structures)
  • rhoCIF (electron density data)
  • imgCIF (image data)
  • symCIF (symmetry data)
  • magCIF (magnetic structures)
