Hi all,
As you know, whenever we build an integrative or hybrid model we need to point to multiple sources of input experimental data. It doesn't make sense to embed that data directly in an mmCIF file because that would be very inefficient, so instead we need to link out to wherever the raw and/or processed experimental datasets are stored, ideally in a repository maintained by experts in the field (e.g. PDB, EMDB, SASBDB). I've summarized the kinds of data that we've been dealing with so far in our own modeling, with pointers to repositories where available, in the wiki: https://github.com/ihmwg/IHM-dictionary/wiki/External%20data
Please take a look and add to it (or reply to this email). It seems likely that there are many modeling scenarios that neither RCSB nor the Sali lab have considered thus far.
