MINCRYST: a crystallographic database for minerals, local and network (WWW) versions

MINCRYST is an original interrelated combination of the Crystal Structure D atabase for Minerals, Subbase of Calculated Polycrystal Standards (Calculat ed Powder X-ray Diffraction Standard Subbase, CPDS Subbase), and the Applie d Program Package. The Information fund of the Crystal Structure Database c omprises about 4800 files. Two MINCRYST versions are developed-the local (L ) version with the original Database Management System designed for use on a personal computer and the WWW version with an original interface integrat ed into the WWW server of the Institute of Experimental Mineralogy of the R ussian Academy of Sciences (Chernogolovka) accessible to all the Internet u sers.(1) (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
