IHM Meeting Summary Oct 18, 2018

Attended by Ben Webb, Tom Goddard, Brian Jimenez, and Brinda Vallat

1. Issue 71: This issue has been addressed in the recent dictionary update.

2. Issue 72: This issue has been created to enable a new deposition to PDB-Dev that uses hydroxyl radical footprinting. BV will address it.

3. Issue 65: The following data categories can now handle non-polymeric entities similar to atom_site:

   _ihm_starting_model_details, _ihm_model_representation, _ihm_struct_assembly, _ihm_localization_density_files, _ihm_starting_model_coord, _ihm_gaussian_obj_ensemble _ihm_sphere_obj_site, _ihm_gaussian_obj_site.

   Additional discussion is required to address whether these categories should be split to handle polymeric and non-polymeric entities separately. This would be the clean way to do it since non-polymers are inherantly different from polymers. However, it will create redundancy in the dictionary, these categories will handle coordinates differently from the existing atom_site category (especially important for _ihm_starting_model_coord) and will lead to additional overhead for developers of visualization software.

4. BW is working on depositing two new IMP models to PDB-Dev.

5. No meeting on October 11th. Next meeting is on Thursday, October 18th at 9AM PT / 12PM ET / 6PM CEST.
